London 2012 Day 4: Quick thoughts

As USA welcomes Day 5, here's my recap of Day 4: On Phelps, le Clos, Badminton & more doping accusations #london2012

That took Phelps to 19. 15 are gold - this was already the record, the two bronze from Athens and the silver last night making up the collection. Phelps has three events remaining - a leg in the 4 x 100m medley relay where it is very difficult to see the USA not winning gold, then the 200-IM where perhaps Lochte is favored, but Phelps should medal given the shorter length, and then the 100m butterfly, where he probably is favorite. It's likely that Phelps will end his career on 22, with possibly 17 golds. An amazing collection from the all-time greatest Olympic medal winner. Cue debate about how 22 swimming medals compares to say, 5 rowing medals, where the multiple hauls are simply not possible. Regardless, Phelps is an undisputed Olympic legend.
