On Wednesday Phelps Moved past Paavo Nurmi,Carl Lewis,Mark Spitz and Larissa Latynina by making his tally to 11 golds. Phelps is now 23 years old(2+3=5).To be more precise,on Wednesday he was 23 years and 45 days old,which adds up to 5(23+45=68,6+8=14,1+4=5) In Beijing olympics he has 8 gold medals .The gold medals he won in olympics is
14 (1+4=5)
Interestingly enough,Phelps had first contested at the sydney Olympics and at that time he finished 5th! It may also be noted that Phelps was born in the Zodiacal Sign of Cancer.This is a watery sign. Birth number,fate number and occult number influence a person differently.
