American Michael Phelps has won his 7th gold medal at the Summer
Olympics in Beijing, equalling the record set in 1972 by fellow
American, Mark Spitz.
Phelps took the 100-meter butterfly by just a
fraction of a second ahead of Milorad Cavic of Serbia; the first
race in which he did not set a world record. In other Olympic news,
Kirsty Coventry of Zimbabwe took gold in the women's 200-meter
backstroke in world record time. Germany won the silver and bronze
medals in the men's 25-meter rapid fire pistol competition. Gold
