Michael Phelps won his Eight Gold Medal, Best Olympian

Michael Phelps swam a historical, magnificent and tremendous feat. With the help of his teammates (Aaron Peirsol, Brendan Hansen, Jason Lezak), Michael Phelps won his record eighth gold medal in the Men's 4 x 100m Medley Relay final with a time of 3:29.34.

Peirsol gave them a great start with a 53.16sec split. Hansen increased the lead on the world record split taking it 0.88 seconds under at the race's halfway mark. Brenton Rickard swam his breaststroke leg in 58.56, faster than Hansen, to bring the Australians into second place.


Michael Phelps EIGHT GOLD MEDALS surpass Mark Spitz record performance in the 1972 Munich Games and now he is being dubbed as the Best Olympian in History.
