 Michael Phelps got his sixth gold medal last night in the 200m I.M. Phelps goes for his seventh gold medal tonight in the 100m butterfly, one event where his dominance has been challenged, consistently and convincingly, by U.S. teammate Ian Crocker. Crocker has held the record since July 26, 2003, when he broke it at the World Championships, and has since lowered the mark twice. Phelps currently has five gold medals and five World Records to boot in Beijing. Olympic Betting Odds at BodogLife.com has Michael Phelps as 1/6 odds favorite over Ian Crocker who is listed at 3/1 odds. Get your Michael Phelps 100m Butterfly Betting Odds in at BodogLife.comThe 100m butterfly will be Phelps biggest pressure filled test as he keeps his quest for eight gold medals in one Olympics alive. But there’s another conundrum happening as well, if his American teammate Ian Crocker denies Phelps a gold medal, will he be the guy everybody hates? Crocker edged out Phelps at the 2005 World Championships by .04 seconds, lowering the World Record. Then Phelps had a chance at revenge at the 2007 Worlds, the build up to Beijing. Phelps swam a personal best to edge Crocker by .05 of a second, in perhaps the greatest single meet performance in history. Phelps took home seven gold medals at the 2007 Worlds. Tonight’s 100m butterfly is going to be like a Heavyweight boxing match between two of the best in the world. "It's more exciting and makes it more interesting," Phelps said. "I'm still getting in there and I'm still swimming the exact race either way." Remaining Races for Michael Phelps:
