Michael Phelps: The Most Decorated Olympian Ever

After winning two more medals today in the pool, Michael Phelps is now the most decorated Olympian of all time. When team mate Nathan Adrian touched the wall to clinch a United States victory in the men's 4x100m Medley, Phelps was awarded his 18th career gold medal, and 22nd medal overall. The 22 medals pass Soviet gymnast Larisa Latyninan for the most ever by an athlete, she had 18, and cap off an already stellar career for the American. In this post, I will discuss the amazing career of Michael Phelps.
