Michael 'Mighty' Phelps on his merry way!!!

Michael Phelps, on course for Mark Spitz's record of 7 Olympic golds, has won his fifth gold with the US 4x200m freestyle relay team in a world record time of 6min 58.56sec. The 23-year-old American is on course to do what Ian 'Thorpedo' Thorpe was expected to achieve in Athens in 2004. Will Beijing crown a new swimming legend?

Phelps has already become the most successful Olympian now with a total tally of 10 individual golds. (Perspective: India has a sum total of 9 Olympic Golds so far)
