RIO DE JANEIRO. — In an unforgettable display of Olympic swimming power, Michael Phelps won two more finals to take his historic all-time record load to 21 golds and cement his legendary status. His majestic display came on a day that Hungary’s “Iron Lady” Katinka Hosszu took her third gold of the week while American gymnast Simone Biles made a flying start to her bid for a record five Rio Olympic golds. But tennis star Serena Williams crashed out of what could be her final Games.Phelps beat Japan’s Masato Sakai by just four hundredths of a second to take the 200m butterfly and later anchored the US 4x200m freestyle relay team to victory.
