Records broken by Michael Phelps at Rio 2016

Leonidas of Rhodes

Most Olympic Games appearances – 5

Simply by qualifying to make it to the Olympics at the U.S. swimming team trials in Omaha, Phelps made history as the American male swimmer to have participated in the most number of Olympic games.

Keeping him company with this record is Dara Torres, who swam in five Olympics and held a record that was untouched until Phelps took the Omaha trials by storm.
