Michael Phelps Has Won 25 Medals At The Olympics, That's Just 1 Less Than India's Overall Haul At The Games

Michael Phelps is in a class all by himself, of that there is no doubt. But to think that he is almost equal to India's overall medal haul is something.

On Day 4, the man won two gold medals in the span of 70 minutes, something India took 28 years to do (1980 and 2008).

Phelps has 21 golds to his credit out of a total haul of 25, while India have 26. While this is something not to write home about for India, it does highlight Phelps' class as an athlete.

No athlete has won more medals than Phelps has and to add to his impressive feat, only around ten countries have won more gold medals since he won his first gold in the 2004 Athens Olympics.
