19-year-old Hungarian swimmer breaks Michael Phelps' world record
The Hungarian, who is also the current world junior record holder in the 200m butterfly, had never swum faster than 1:53.19 at professional level. By smashing Phelps' record, he is the first man to beat the American great since Serbia's Milorad Cavic did so in the 100m butterfly at the World Championships a decade ago.Phelps became the youngest man to ever break a world record when he set the fastest time for a 200m butterfly in 2001, aged just 15.
Kristof Milak of Hungary celebrates after setting a new world record of 1:50.73 in the Men's 200m Butterfly Final on day four of the Gwangju 2019 FINA World Championships at Nambu International Aquatics Centre on July 24 in Gwangju, South Korea.Overall, the Baltimore Bullet broke 39 world records across all events and still holds world records in the 100m butterfly and 400m medley.
While the world record in his signature event might have gone, some of Phelps' achievements are unlikely to ever be matched. With 28 medals in total, the 34-year-old is the most successful and most decorated Olympian in history. Of those 28 medals, 23 were gold medals and 13 of them were won in individual events, both of which are also records.
With eight gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Olympics, Phelps also holds the record for the highest number of gold medals won in the same Olympic Games.
