Phelps goes to 11.

[count_01]

In tha face of Mark Spitz' rightful claim to fame as among the greatest athletes ever (who else beats his own world records to nearly requalify twenty years later? He didn't, by the way. Those records had fallen years before.) Michael Phelps, at only 23, beat his own world record in the 200m butterfly (set the day before in the semis) to come out

Oh sure. Way to ruin a perfectly good bad 80s cultural pun.

Blame it on Phelps. The guy breaks world records in the bath.

Yesterday he broke is own world record by whackin' it 11 times in a single shower, in a new world-record time of 7:43.92, crushing his previous time of 7:49.08.
