When he was 15, Michael Phelps dreamed about one day winning a gold medal in the Olympics. Enough golds to further cement his status as the most-decorated Olympian of all time and ― somehow even more impressively ― enough individual victories to break a more than 2,000-year-old Olympic record, set by Leonidas of Rhodes in 152 B.C. With his Thursday night victory in the 200-meter individual medley at the Rio Olympics, Phelps now has 22 of them (and perhaps counting). Phelps won the event with a time of 1 minute and 54.66 seconds, followed by Kosuke Hagino of Japan in second with a time of 1:57.05 and Wang Shun of China in third with 1:57.21. It’s safe to say that 15-year-old Michael would probably be pretty pleased right now.
