Michael Phelps won his record eighth gold medal in the Men’s 4 x 100m Medley Relay final on Sunday with some help from his friends and thus, broke Mark Spitz’s record of seven golds in one Olympic Games.
The US team of Aaron Peirsol, Brendan Hansen, Jason Lezak and Phelps won at the National Aquatics Center in a time of 3:29.34 and in doing so broke the world record by 1.34 seconds.

Michael Phelps won his seventh gold in the Men’s 100m Butterfly final at the National Aquatics Center on Saturday.

After creating history by winning his 10th and 11th Olympic Golds on Wednesday, Michael Phelps just needs one more gold to take over Mark Spitz’s record of seven gold medals and create a record that’s almost impassable, especially when Phelps is just 23 years of age — he has at least one more Olympic to come.

The House Bunny is almost like Legally Blonde even though they are different. The film gave Katherine McPhee and Rumer Willis their debut. Pink, blonde and girly movie but it’s nice. So nice.
