French swimmer Leon Marchand also broke one of Phelps' swimming records. His time in the 400-meter individual medley last Sunday was a world record and broke the last of Phelps' individual marks.
It's not all bad for Phelps though. He still owns the record for most Olympic medals (28), Olympic gold medals (23) and golds in the same Olympic event (8). Those numbers will take some time to clear.
