The greatest Olympian ever now is Michael Phelps by winning his 8th gold medal at the Beijing 2008 Olympics with a world record swim by the United States of America team in the Men’s 4 x 100m Medley Relay. The Australian team took the silver medal while Japan got the bronze medal.

This win brings Phelps’ 14th career Olympic gold which makes it five more than any other athlete in the history of the Olympic games ever. So the next in line to break his record needs to win 5 more gold medals in the Olympics. Wow as in wow! Phelps is really amazing. Phelps has now surpassed the record USA’s Mark Spitz set in the 1972 Munich Games for the most gold medals won at a single Olympic Games ever.
