Phelps gets 20th Olympic medal

It was another historic day for Michael Phelps. After crushing losses in the 400m Individual Medley where he was locked out of the medals, and in the 200m butterfly where we was edged out by five hundredth of a second – the greatest swimmer of all time gave spectators a taste of his brilliance by winning the 200m Individual Medley Thursday night. Phelps beat Ryan Lochete in their second showdown of these games with a time of 1:54.27. While this win is Phelps’ first individual gold medal in London it is his 16th Olympic gold medal and his 20th career Olympic medal. Phelps has won more Olympic medals than any other athlete in history. He is scheduled to swim in two more events in London this Friday and Saturday.
