Beijing China 2008 could be the year of the many Olympian athlete in Olympic history. Michael Phelps born June 30, 1985 in Baltimore Maryland was born to break world records and win gold medals. Phelps co-starred in "Unfiltered", the first behind the scenes documentary in the sport of swimming. On a mission to grow the sport Phelps has helped grow the popularity and has played an integral role in the creation of http://www.swimroom.com, the sports first communal networking site where swimmers across the globe have a place to usually communicate.
He holds the narrative for the most gold medals won at a single Olympics; a total of eight, surpassing Mark Spitz. Phelps has won 16 Olympic medals: six gold and two bronze at Athens in 2004, and eight gold at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing. In winning these medals, he has twice equaled Soviet gymnast Alexander Dityatin's narrative of eight medals (of any type) at a single Olympics (Dityatin: Moscow 1980; Phelps: Athens 2004 and Beijing 2008). Out of his eight gold medals from Beijing, five were won in private events, tying the narrative for private gold medals at a single Games originally set by Eric Heiden in the 1980 Winter Olympics and equaled by Vitaly Scherbo at the 1992 Summer Games. Phelps ranks second in total career Olympic medals, after Soviet gymnast Larissa Latynina, who won a total of 18 medals (nine gold) spanning three Olympic Games.
