Congratulations to US swimmer Michael Phelps as he won his Seventh Gold Medal of the 2008 Beijing Summer Olympics, tying him with 1972 Seven Time Gold medal Winner Mark Spitz for the most Gold medals by any Olympian in any single Olympic. Phelps also had six Gold Medals from the 2004 games, plus these seven give him a total of Thirteen (13) Gold Medals in his Olympic history, shattering the previous mark of nine gold medals held by US Swimmer Mark Spitz, US Track and Field Star Carl Lewis, Finnish Track Star Paavo Nurmi and Russian Gymnast Larysa Latynina.
Phelps has one more chance to cash in for an unprecedented eighth Gold Medal when he tries to win Gold in the 4x100m medley relay, an event the US has never failed to win the Gold medal in.
Congrats Michael Phelps, you make us proud to be Americans.
