Michael Phelps is the Most Decorated Olympian Ever

Michael Phelps, the Most Decorated Olympian

I am finally getting caught up on the Olympic action.  Swimming is by far my favorite sport to watch, and tonight I was able to sit down and watch the 4 x 200 free relay that propelled Michael Phelps into Olympic history.

This win and gold medal brought his total medal count to 19 for the four Olympics that he has participated in for the past 12 years.  Incredible.

It was really exciting that the 19th medal occurred from a relay race, so the other three members of the relay could participate in this historic event.

Where did he win all of his medals?

Phelps has participated in four Olympic Games including Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, Beijing 2008 and London 2012.  The medals were all earned in the following races:

2000 Sydney, Australia Olympic Games

Phelps participated in these games at the age of 15 and finished 5th place in the 200 meter butterfly. So, no medals here.  Fifth place at the age of 15 is not too shabby though.
