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.
