Olympic Photo of the Day: Michael Phelps, History's Most Decorated Olympian

Michael Phelps has accumulated so much precious metal, he could rent a wing at Ft. Knox. With his gold in the 4x200m freestyle relay, Phelps set an all-time record with his 19th Olympic medal (15 of them of the gold variety, and nine of those 15 individual medals).

Perhaps the most impressive aspect of his 19 career Olympic medals is the dominant fashion in which he has won them. In 15 of his 19 medal-winning races, Phelps set or helped set either a world, Olympic or American record. Nine of the races were world-record swims. Phelps will have three more opportunities to add to his record haul, but as of this moment, here's the career tally for arguably the greatest Olympic athlete in history (OR denotes Olympic Record; WR denotes World Record; AR denotes American Record):
