Classic Comments
"Nothing is impossible. With so many people saying it couldn't be done, all it takes is an imagination, and that's something I learned and something that helped me. I literally wanted to do something that no one's ever done before in this sport. Without the help of my teammates it wouldn't have been possible."
Michael Phelps
The U.S. swimmer was speaking after winning his eighth gold medal at the Beijing Olympics.

    Oklahoma City Sun
    The Oklahoma City Sun is essentially a local Oklahoma City newspaper, but with a national and international perspective, designed to provide readers with a one-stop shop for Oklahoma City, national US, regional, and world news coverage, weather and sports information, with live updates on breaking business stories, and what's happening in the financial markets.

    The biggest advantage we have is that we are an online newspaper, which means we are constantly refreshing our stories as more and more information comes to hand. Often when a story breaks the initial details are sketchy.

    We and our sources around the world work hard to gather more information, verify facts, and provide a perspective of the major stories. Expert opinion often accompanies our articles to better inform readers, and provide a more complete understanding
    of the news we deliver.

    Financial markets and business reports are regular features as we pin down what's happening, and constantly refresh stock market indice readings, dollar currency rates, and breaking business news reports. Our world sports coverage is a priority, as is our regional news.

    We like to think if you're looking for breaking news out of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, United States, or the world, you'll look for it first at the Oklahoma City Sun.
