Michael Phelps: Equals Spitz's seven gold record

U.S. phenom Michael Phelps equaled fellow American swimmer Mark Spitz's 1972 record of seven golds in one Olympics on Saturday after taking the men's 100-meter butterfly, his seventh swim title.

Michael Phelps was trailing in seventh place halfway through and overtook Serbia's Milorad Cavic with his last stroke to win by 0.01 second in 50.58 seconds -- an Olympic record. Australia's Andrew Lautersetein got the bronze in 51.12.

Michael Phelps punched the air and screamed with joy after finishing his competition.

Phelps said, "It's pretty cool, that's all I can say. I am in a sort of dream world".

Swimming's governing body FINA confirmed the result. Race referee Ben Ekumbo said, "I personally looked at the video footage and it was very clear the Serbian swimmer touched second".

Michael Phelps, 23, could break Spitz's record set at the 1972 Olympics if the U.S. wins tomorrow's 400-medley relay, an event the U.S. has won at every Olympics in which it competed since the relay was added in 1960.
