Michael Phelps tied a 2,168-year-old Olympic record
Some records will never be broken. Others only get threatened after more than 2,100 years.
By Rodger Sherman - SB Nation
Michael Phelps won his 20th and 21st gold medals Tuesday night, extending his record for the most golds of any Olympian ever. His win in the 200 meter butterfly made him the first person to win individual swimming gold in Olympic games 12 years apart. He also became the oldest man to win individual swimming gold, breaking a 96-year-old record set by Hawaiian surfing legend Duke Kahanamoku in 1920.
But there is an even older record he now has in his sights:
#Olympics With his 12th individual Olympic title Michael Phelps equal the all time Olympic record set by Leonidas of Rhodes in 152 BC

Typically our oldest sports records are at most 75 or 100 years old, so it's absolutely wild to think of a sports record that spans millennia. But if we consider today's modern Olympics to be an extension of the ancient games held in Greece, Phelps has now tied a record.
Phelps' 12 individual gold medals is by far the record for the modern games -- early 20th century American track-and-field star Ray Ewry is next with eight. But Leonidas won 12 titles in the second century B.C. A renowned runner, Leonidas won three events -- the stadion, a sprint; the diaulos, a longer run; the hoplitodromos, a run performed while wearing armor -- in four straight Olympiads. He is believed to have won more Olympic titles than anybody at the ancient Olympic games. .
If we're being technical, Phelps is alone with the record for most gold medals -- they didn't give out gold medals at the ancient Olympics, instead giving athletes a crown of olive leaves. He'll pass Leonidas for most Olympic titles (medals or wreaths) if he wins either of his two other individual events, the 100-meter butterfly and the 200-meter individual medley.
Hopefully Leonidas enjoyed his 2,000 years on top. Here's to the robot sports bloggers of the year 4,184 putting up a post about how Olympic blernsball champion Lord Glorpnax the Destroyer has tied a record from an ancient swimming man named "Michael Phelps."
this is sparta!
Aw man Elliot Freidmen from CBC fucked up with the call in the 100m, mixed up Lochty and Phelps and is just getting blasted on radio and the internet. He for sure fucked up a historic call, but he's awesome otherwise and I hope he bounces back. Everyone makes mistakes, he just got the lanes confused among the chaos.
But Phelps I mean wow. It wasn't even close.
Serbia really pushed the USA Men's basketball team tonight. It was a 3 point win for us. 94 - 91. 3 points. Our guys owned the game the entire first half, but Serbia came back in the second half and refused to go away. I'm afraid that our basketball team is very beatable this Olympics. Onto France.

I wanted to be a Monk, but I never got the chants.
What was the actual year (at the time of course) of the Olympics where the individual event record was set? If you say 152 BC, I will hunt you down and torture you. And not like waterboarding, but actual torture.
