In 2008, Michael Phelps stunned the world as he swept the Olympic Games with a record eight gold medals. Added to his previous six gold and two bronze from the 2004 games, he leads all others with a total of fourteen Olympic medals. But Phelps wasn't the first to conquer the world. This fascinating book examines the lives and careers of the fifteen most dominant men and women to ever wear Olympic gold.
