Phelps Report
Guess who won another gold today? I'll give you one guess...
Phelps narrowly beat out teammate Ian Crocker for gold today in the Men's 100 m Butterfly with a gap between first and second of only 4 hundredths of a second. Even though Phelps has won the right to swim the Men 4 x 100m Medley Relay on Saturday, he has given up his spot to Crocker to give him another chance to win gold. Quote Phelps, "We came into this meet as a team and we're going to leave it as a team. It's the right thing to do." Regardless, if the US win a medal in the medley, Phelps will still win a medal as well since he swam the preliminary heats.
His total medal haul so far: 5 gold, 2 bronze.
BTW, Spitz was in the stands today watching Phelps tie his medal total record. In Spitz's case, that total was 7 gold. Even though Phelps can't win 7 gold, he can win 8 medals total in one summer games.
