it was in 2008
It was Michael Phelps with eight gold medals a record.
The most amount of gold medals ever won at a single Olympic swimming competition was 8, and it was done by Michael Phelps of the US at the Beijing 2008 summer Olympics.
In 2008, Michael Phelps won eight gold medals in the Beijing Olympics.
As of the 2008 Olympics Michael Phelps has won 14 gold medals in swimming (16 total medals), second on the list is Raymond Ewry who won a total of 10 gold medals in track & field. as a sidenote if Michael Phelps wins 3 more medals of any type he will pass Larisa Latynina as the winner of most Olympic medals. Between 1956 & 1964 Ms Latynina won 18 total medals in gymnastics. The most medals won by a single swimmer at the Olympics is Michel Phelps of the U.S.A. who won a total of eight medals at the 2008 Olympics held in Beijing 2008.
I think it was Michael Phelps.
Michael Phelps, was trying to break the record of winning the most gold medals in Olympic (the record was seven) and he broke it by winning eight gold medals in one Olympic.
He's won eight so far.
To win eight golds in a single olympics- but mostly to do his personal best.

That would be fencer Aladar Gerevich of Hungary who won gold in team Sabre at the 1932, 1936, 1948, 1952, 1956, and 1960 Olympics. He is the only athlete in the history of the Olympics to win gold in the same event in six different Olympic Games.
He needs to win eight gold medals. The previous record is seven gold medals set by Mark Spitz, also on team USA. Right now Phelps has a record of 11 olympic gold medals.
