Who is Michael Phelps? Part III
All the races are over and it’s time to tally up the medals. Michael Phelps swam in eight competitions and won gold in all eight. He is the only Olympian to win eight gold medals in one year. He is also the only athlete to win gold in every event he competed in. This year we saw history unfolding before our eyes. Not only does Michael Phelps hold 27 personal world records, he is also the most decorated Olympian in history. As if that isn’t enough he is only 23 years old.
