Michael Phelps celebrates his record breaking Olympic games experience by gracing the cover of the Sports Illustrated magazine. Michael Phelps has won the most gold medals of any Olympian ever! (a nice accolade!) Famously beating out swimmer Mark Spitz's record of seven gold medals at the 1972 Olympics in Munich.

Phelps's Sports Illustrated cover is a nice tribute to Spitz. In the picture Phelps strikes an identical pose to that of Spitz back in 1972.

In doing so Phelps manages to mark up yet another record! He became the swimmer that has appear the most on the cover of the popular American magazine's cover.
