Michael Phelps Wins Gold, Sets World Record

Yesterday Michael Phelps began his quest to become the most decorated Olympian in history with a win in the 400m Individual Medley. Phelps smashed the world record with a final time of 4:03:84 to win the gold. With seven more events left to compete in he has the opportunity to beat the previous single games medal count held by the famed Mark Spitz. Phelps would need to win gold in all eight his events in order to break the record. Even if he is unable to beat Spitz he still has the chance to become the single most decorated athlete in Olympic history.
