Just two more gold medals and Michael Phelps will be relieved of the burden of history, for history would then be his.
The beyond-adjectives US swimmer picked up his sixth gold, in 200-m men's individual medley, in Beijing yesterday, equaling his Athens record and taking his total Games' tally to 12, itself a record.
