Michael Phelps has won his 7th gold medal after finishing first place in the 100-meter butterfly by just 0.01 seconds.

“I was starting to hurt a little bit with probably the last 10 meters,” Phelps said. That was my last individual race, so I was just trying to finish as strong as I could.”

Phelps amazing performance earned high praise from swimming legend Mark Spitz.

“It goes to show you that not only is this guy the greatest swimmer of all time and the greatest Olympian of all time,” Spitz said. “He’s maybe the greatest athlete of all time. He’s the greatest racer who ever walked the planet.”

Tomorrow Phelps participates in the 4×100 medley relay and if the Americans win, Phelps will own the record for the most golds ever won in a single olympics.
