It's Five Golds and Counting for Michael Phelps!
First, he won the 200-meter butterfly, his fourth gold medal and fourth world record at these Olympics Games.
It also marked the the 10th gold medal of his career, shattering the mark he shared for just over 24 hours with Carl Lewis, Mark Spitz, Finnish distance runner Paavo Nurmi and Russian gymnast Larissa Latynina, reports the New York Post.
Then, he was back in the pool for the 4×200 freestyle relay, where he crushed another world record and won his 5th gold!
“It’s everything I ever dreamed about,” Phelps said, “On the podium, I kept tearing up. I’m almost at a loss for words. It’s the most fun part of being part of a team. It’s the best thing having four Americans swim all well together.”
Can he break the record of eight gold medals in one Olympics?
