BEIJING (AP)—Under other circumstances, Nastia Liukin would’ve been the star of the Olympics for the U.S. delegation Friday. After all, she was crowned the all-around champion of women’s gymnastics and has a heck of a backstory about overcoming the exact obstacle that stopped her father 20 years ago.

Alas, her performance came on the same day Michael Phelps was in action.

Phelps ratcheted up the buzz surrounding him to yet another level by winning his sixth gold medal in as many tries, this time the 200-meter individual medley. The bigger news is that he’s now on the cusp of catching Mark Spitz for the most medals ever won at a single Olympics, and still has a chance to bump the record to eight.

What's this about a broken lamp and pizza stain on the wall?
