In 2012 I doubt he would try 8 events again so let be conservative and say he wins 4 gold medals. Then he realistically could specialize in one or two events and come back in 2016 he would only be 31 and what if he wins another gold or 2.
We could realistically see this kid win 20 gold medals in his career.

After Beijing, I wonder if he will have sufficient motivation to train at this level for another four years.
