This Fastskin® swim suit was worn by Michael Phelps at the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens, where he won six gold medals and two bronze medals. However, it was not until the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing that the swimmer from Baltimore truly became a swimming legend, winning a record eight gold medals and setting seven world records. Mark Spitz’s record of seven gold medals at one edition of the Games was finally beaten! And with his 14 Olympic titles, Michael Phelps has won more than any other athlete in the history of the Games.
