Is Michael Phelps the greatest Olympian Of all time? As he breaks record

By -


He has really amazed everyone for a very long not just in Rio,since we all saw him in the Olympics. Phelps has been a Phenomenon to watch.Breaking this record was expected.See what went down.


Just when you thought there were no more records for Michael Phelps to beat he has done it again .Now , the pro swimmer has  tied a record that was set by Leonidas of Rhodes more than 2,000 years ago in 152 BC.
Phelps, 31, won his 20th and 21st gold medals, for the 200m butterfly and 4x200m freestyle relay, on Aug. 8, and that cemented him in history.
 Winning the 200m butterfly gave him his 12th individual gold medal, which has not been achieved since 152 BC.
Olympic expert and historian,Bill Mallon, claims.In four consecutive Ancient Olympic Games, Leonidas won gold in three different individual events, giving him a total of 12, the same as Michael achieved this week , alarming right!! Of course, the 31-year-old has already set more than one record in the Modern Olympic Games, He has been recognized as the most decorated Olympian of all-time and earned the most gold medals in one Olympics, a total of eight, back in 2008.
There may be more where that came from,He can still win a gold medal in the 200m Individual medley and 100m butterfly.
With this likely being his last time competing in the Olympics, Michael is more focused than ever,especially with his new born son in the audience, and we are all excited to see what next Michael has up his sleeves ,Besides just the fact that he’s setting new records left and right, Michael winning 200m butterfly win this year had an more special and happy meaning, because he lost that exact race to Chad le Closat the London Games in 2012. Before the 2016 semifinal heat, Michael was seen angrily looking at Chad during warmups, Now he's the man.

Women Self Defense Techniques

lot of women feel afraid when walking the streets alone at night - all you have to do is ask around to realise just how many of us are fed-up with walking home clutching our keys between our fingers. Of course, two men can be extremely unequally matched when it comes to strength and size, but the sad truth is that the majority of women can put up little fight against the majority of men purely because of our biological make-up. And that’s a scary thought. Progress certainly needs to be made to reduce attacks - be they sexual assault or robbery - but as that doesn’t look likely any time soon, learning self-defence is a wise move for women of all ages. Top British mixed martial artist Helen ‘Hellraiser’ Harper, who specialises in Jui Jitsu, believes all women should know more self-defence because it brings not only safety but confidence. “In my opinion, women don't have the confidence they should in life let alone in defence,” she told The Independent. “Learning to fend off an at
