Hi, this is Josh Levine. I'm Slate's sports editor and the host of Slate's sports podcast Hang Up and Listen. It's August 10th, 2016, and this is your Hangup and Listen, Olympics Extra.

On Tuesday in Rio, Michael Phelps outtouched South Africa's Chad LeClo, who'd beaten him in the 200-meter butterfly four years ago in London, to reclaim his title in that event and tie Soviet-era gymnast Larissa Latina with 14 individual gold medals in his Olympics career.

Latina won the vault, the all-around, the uneven bars, and the balance beam at the 1958

World Gymnastics Championships while four months pregnant, which is an achievement Phelps will be hard-pressed to match for several reasons.

Elsewhere, the diving pool turned green, which led Great Britain's Tom Daly to

remark, erm, what happened? The answer, according to an Olympic spokesman, a proliferation of algae

caused by heat and a lack of wind happened. The spokesman added that the pool should be blue again

soon. And in the best event of the day, 41-year-old Geza Imre of Hungary,

who won a bronze in Mins Epe, way back at the 1996 games in Atlanta,

took on 20-year-old Sang-young Park of South Korea on the fencing pist.

Emory took a 14-9 lead in the first to 15 gold medal men's at bay final, but then

Park got a touch to make it 1410, then another 1411, 1412, 1413, 1414.

And this is not one of those sports where you win by two,

so it was down to whoever got the last touch,

the 41-year-old Hungarian or the 20-year-old Korean.

Let's listen to how the match ended.

Who will be the first to score a single light.

Unbelievable! It's poor. The 20-year-old from Korea has done it.

He's won Korea's first ever. Ape gold medal.

Unbelievable.

And now it is time to move on to the team final and women's gymnastics.
