I think Phelps has more gold medals, than Iran does as a nation, in its Olympics history.

If Phelps was a country then he would be ranked 4th in the olympics. LOL

seriously though, the guy is a tru champion and deserves all he gets.

You think wrong

Iran's total gold medal count from its very first Olympic presence to date.

1956- 2 Gold
1968- 2 Gold
2000- 3 Gold
2004- 2 Gold
2008- None so far.

That brings Iran's total Olympic medal count to 9 Gold Medals.

Phelps on the other hand...
2004- 6 Gold
2008- 7 Gold (thus far)

You do the math.

43 of Iran's 46 Olympic medals have been won in weightlifting and wrestling. Only in 2000 did Iran win a medal in a sport other than these two sports.

Weird how they have 10 listed golds, while I could only find 9...I guess I missed one?

Indeed, I missed the Khadem medal in 1996.
