Sports World News of Friday, 12 August 2016Source: BBCPhelps beats Ryan Lochte to win 22nd goldMichael PhelpsRecord-breaking Michael Phelps became the first swimmer to win four successive Olympic gold medals in one event by beating Ryan Lochte in the 200m individual medley. Phelps, 31, won his 22nd gold - more than any other Olympian - as fellow American Lochte, 32, faded to a fifth-place finish in Rio. Phelps, who posted a time of one minute 54.66 seconds, has won more than twice as many gold medals as anyone else, with former Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina second on the list with nine. He could also win his fourth successive gold in the 100m butterfly after qualifying for Saturday's final shortly after his 200m medley victory. It's been a privilege to watch every one of his gold medals, but I don't think I've seen one as emotional as that one.
