Congratulations, Mr. Phelps. Your 19 medals over your Olympic career is the most of any athlete ever, and you have several more opportunities for more.

That’s mind-boggling. Hell, eighteen is mind-boggling. That’s how many medals Larisa Latynina won for the Soviet Union between 1956 and 1964 from Melbourne to Rome to Tokyo. In an oddity, she won six medals in each Games in which she competed.
