Michael Phelps 

Michael Phelps is arguably the greatest Olympian ever. But for sheer
numbers of medals claimed, there is a clear, hands-down winner:
Michael Phelps. Even given the fact that Phelps practices a sport in
which extremely capable athlete can bag golds across different distances
and strokes, his feats still blow away those of any other sportsperson.
Phelps has 28 medals in total: his 23 gold medals are more than double
the count of his nearest rivals, and its not as if other swimmers have
accrued silly numbers of medals, either. Apart from Spitz, Matt Biondi
and Jenny Thompson, no other swimmer worldwide has managed more
than six gold medals in total. 23 is astonishing.
