Excerpt
if we consider today's modern Olympics to be an extension of the ancient games held in Greece, Phelps has now set an ancient record.
Leonidas won 12 titles in the second century B.C. A renowned runner, Leonidas won three events -- the stadion, a sprint; the diaulos, a longer run; the hoplitodromos, a run performed while wearing armor -- in four straight Olympiads. He is believed to have won more Olympic titles than anybody at the ancient Olympic games. .
Phelps passed Leonidas for most Olympic titles (medals or wreaths) with his win Thursday in the 200-meter individual medley.
Hopefully Leonidas enjoyed his 2,000 years on top.
If Phelps does the same. ..it will be around the year 4,100AD to beat an ancient swimming man named "Michael Phelps."
