What a day for Michael Phelps! It is official; Michael has more gold medals than any other! Ten would have done it, but he now holds eleven. After his accomplishment he led another relay giving an untouchable lead to the U.S. team. His chase in reaching eight gold medals this year is now within grasp. Just three to go! It’s amazing to watch history being written. If you aren’t watching you are missing an incredible thing.The only frustration of the day was his goggles filling with water in the 200m butterfly making the finish closer than he would have liked and the time a little longer than hoped for. But, the 4x200m freestyle relay was completed under 7 minutes at 6:58.56. And so, the frustrating moment was paled in retrospect. The day’s events came and went in true Phelps’ fashion: record breaking, a new record in medals and two more time records turned in.
“The people who came before us and competed in the Olympic Games are some of the greatest athletes who ever lived, and to be or to win the most gold medals is unbelievable.” -Michael Phelps
