With his win in the 200m individual medley on Thursday evening, he became the first swimmer to win four gold medals at the same individual event in consecutive Olympics. Indeed, only two athletes in any sport, discus thrower Al Oerter and Carl Lewis, in the long jump, both of the USA, have ever pulled off the feat. He holds three invidual world records, and three relay world records. At the Olympic Games he holds five individual records and three relay marks.
