Photo: ReutersIn just one performance, Singapore's Joseph Schooling beat swimming great Michael Phelps, took home his city state's first Olympic gold medal and became an instant millionaire. Schooling won Singapore's first medal at last year's World Championships in the 100m butterfly. "I'm excited just to see how much faster he goes," Phelps told reporters about Schooling. As big as he wants to dream, as hard as he wants to work, to do whatever is in his head."
