Beijing2008: Michael Phelps establishes Olympic record for most number of gold medals won

Ayel

ISN’T HE just an amazing swimmer, Michael Phelps, winning a total of 16 Olympic medals? That is even more than what a country’s whole batch of athletes could bring home after an olympic event. Only very few people could earn success of such magnitude.

In the Beijing Olympics, he garnered eight gold medals, whoich earned him the record of most number of gold medals won. Here’s what I got from wikipedia about the events he won in Beijing:

Date (in Beijing) Event Results Time
August 10 400 m individual medley Gold Medal 4:03.84

[33]
August 11 4 x 100 m freestyle relay Gold Medal 3:08.24

August 12 200 m freestyle Gold Medal 1:42.96

August 13 200 m butterfly Gold Medal 1:52.03

August 13 4 x 200 m freestyle relay Gold Medal 6:58.56

August 15 200 m individual medley Gold Medal 1:54.23

August 16 100 m butterfly Gold Medal 50.58

August 17 4 x 100 m medley relay Gold Medal 3:29.34

I read his biography and it really meant discipline and hardwork. His story inspired me more to work harder to reach my goal.
