Phelps wins 10th, 11th golds of Olympic career

[renovation]

A daily double. Michael Phelps swam into history as the winningest Olympic athlete ever with his 10th and 11th career gold medals - and five world records in five events at the Beijing Games.

A day after etching his name alongside Mark Spitz and Carl Lewis with gold No. 9, Phelps set a standard all his own when he won the 200-meter butterfly Wednesday morning. An hour later, he swam the leadoff of a runaway victory by the U.S. 800 freestyle relay team, which shattered the old world mark by more than 4 seconds.

That was great race. He created a big enough buffer for everyone on his team and his team made a new world record under 7 minutes. I don't think he does well in short distances but I think it's the push off the pool that give him an advantage. After he comes back up it when he turns on the jets.
