The most decorated Olympian of all time has added yet another medal to his extensive collection. Michael Phelps won gold in the 200-meter butterfly Tuesday night at the Rio Olympics with a winning time of 1 minute, 53.36 seconds. Masato Sakai of Japan won silver and Tamas Kenderesi of Hungary took home the bronze. The time falls short of the world record of 1:51.51, which was set by Phelps at the 2009 World Aquatics Championships in Rome. The award is the 31-year-old’s 20th Olympic gold medal and 24th Olympic medal overall, both records. Also on Tuesday, USA's Katie Ledecky nabbed her second gold medal in Rio, winning the 200-meter freestyle finals. |
