American swimmer Michael Phelps has dominated the history books of the Olympic Games, transforming his career from a child who was afraid of water to a swimmer who dominates the “Olympic gold” category. He is still considered the most successful athlete ever in various sports, thanks to his Olympic achievements.
During his career in the Olympic Games (five participations), the “American Shark” was able to win 23 gold medals, three silver medals, and two bronze medals, which put him at the top of the pyramid, surpassing “Larisa Latynina”, the gymnast who represented the Soviet Union in the Olympics between 1956 and 1964 and won 18 medals, including nine gold medals.
Phelps began his Olympic career with gold at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, when he broke the record set by American swimmer Mark Spitz in 1971 (seven gold medals in a single Games), winning eight gold medals in that Games. In the Rio de Janeiro Games in Brazil, Phelps wrote his last achievement in the pool in the best way, winning five gold medals and one silver.
