    In 2008, Michael Phelps was on top of the world as the fastest swimmer at the Beijing Olympics. He caught the globe’s attention with his skills but also with his jaw-dropping diet. Phelps reportedly consumed more than 4,000 calories each morning. Inside Edition tried to take on the massive meal. That year, Phelps also broke the record for most Olympic gold medals. Swimmer Mark Spitz, who had held the record for 36 years, told Inside Edition how proud he was of Phelps.

    Luca Urlando, the grandson of an Italian Olympic hammer thrower, appears to be the U.S. successor to Michael Phelps in the 200m butterfly.

    Urlando, 17, broke Phelps’ national 17-18 age group record in Phelps’ trademark event on Friday night, clocking 1:53.84 at a Tyr Pro Series meet in Clovis, Calif. Phelps’ mark (1:53.93) was set in 2003, when it doubled as the world record. Urlando previously broke high school age group records held by Phelps and Caeleb Dressel in 25-yard pools.

    Urlando is now the third-fastest American in history in the 200m butterfly behind Phelps and Tyler Clary. He also ranks third in the world this year behind Hungarians Kristof Milak and Tamas Kenderesi.
