Phelps Wins 4th Easily, Gets 10th Gold Metal

Michael Phelps is now halfway there. He was heavily favored in the 200 butterfly for a good reason. He has not lost the race for six years, and no reason for it to happen tonight. Now he has got the most gold metals for any individual (10). The announcers never flinched even when he was not in the lead going into the first turn. They all said he would pull away towards the end, which he did. He had the lead by the second turn, and by the final turn there was no question. Of course he set another world record, why wouldn’t he?
