Michael Phelps Wins 2 More Gold Medals
American swimmer Michael Phelps has won 2 more gold medals at the 2008 Olympics today. First he won the 200-meter butterfly in 1:52.03, winning the gold and breaking his own world record. Then he gave the United States a huge lead in the 4×200 freestyle relay, winning his 11th career olympic gold and becoming the winningest olympic athlete ever.
“I’m almost at a loss for words,” Phelps said. “Growing up I always wanted to be an Olympian. Now to be the most decorated Olympian of all time, it just sounds weird saying. It started setting in a little bit after the butterfly. I was just trying to focus on my next race, but I just kept thinking, `Wow, greatest Olympian of all time.’ It’s a pretty cool title. I’m definitely honored.”
Keep up the great work Phelps, America is cheering you on!
