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 doesn’t get old.
Tonight, Michael Phelps broke another world record in the finals of the butterfly and of course, won gold.
This marked his 25th world record.
He’s one individual world record away from the legendary Mark Spitz.
Update: Phelps won his 5th gold!

Richard Stengel, Time’s Managing Editor, appeared on my favorite morning news show MORNING JOE on MSNBC, and said something like he simply couldn’t decide who to put on the cover of this special Olympic preview issue of Time Magazine.
Both stories were equally compelling. Dana Torres, the 41-year old swimmer and can LeBron James lead the men’s Olympic basketball team back to glory? (BTW-Time’s cover of Lebron James is not controversial at all compared to his appearance on Vogue with Giselle.)
Long story short.
This issue of Men’s Journal should help you get ready for the Olympics!
Featuring Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte, this is one hot cover and is reminder I need to go to the gym NOW.
