With his eight gold medals, we can concede top honors to Michael Phelps. These should be known as his Olympics.

But he’s not the only star of the Games so far, especially with world records dropping all over the place and gymnasts dazzling with regularity.

So, cast your vote for the biggest non-Michael Phelps star of the Summer Olympics so far, then come back to check out the rest of our in-depth coverage of the Olympics (especially Orange County’s Olympians).

    How about Natalie Coughlin? US swimmer. 6 medals in this Olympics, and as far as the media are concerned, she doesn’t exist.

    What about Shawn Johnson? She was far sweeter than Liukin.

    But Guo Jingjing will always be my favorite.

    The biggest star of the 2008 olympics is without a doubt Usain Bolt. Not only did he win 3 gold medals they were all world records.
