It feels as if the Tokyo Olympics have just ended yesterday. This is literally the first Olympics I’ve ever watched on TV. While 206 countries have participated, 90 of them have won at least one medal.

And while a couple of records are broken almost every Olympics, there exist few records that weren’t broke for too long since they were set. And here I tell you about six of them.

#1. He won 28 Olympic medals in his career

Michael Phelps is known as the most successful and most decorated Olympian of all time. He won the most Olympic medals ever won by a single individual.

This 2016-retired athlete won a total of 28 medals in the Olympics. The ‘Oh My God’ fact is that – Out of the 28, 23 were gold. Of the rest, three were silver and two were bronze.
