Social Sciences - Sports / Fitness / Recreation / newspaper | | English term or phrase: "make it five" | The Greatest Athlete In the World
US swimming star Michael Phelps became the greatest Olympian of all time by winning his 10th and 11th Olympic gold medals on Wednesday.
The 23-year-old broke the previous record of nine golds held by Paavo Nurmi, Larysa Latynina, Mark Spitz and Carl Lewis.
Phelps is also bidding to break Spitz's 36-year-old record of seven gold medals in a single Olympic Games, and he closed in on that feat by winning the 200m butterfly and 4x200m freestyle, making it five so far in Beijing .
He won the 400m individual medley, 4x100m freestyle relay and the 200m freestyle earlier this week.
In Athens in 2004, Phelps won six golds and two bronze medals.
Thank you all for any suggestions. |

Sus victorias hasta el momento son 5 en Beijing - También puede ser que alcanzó con ello el mayor éxito hasta el momento (ya que, a veces, "give a five" significa felicitar por haber logrado lo máximo en algo)
