She still has more individual medals; Phelps got a lot of his medals in relays. How many events does he have left in London? Can he break this record, too?

.

It seems quite fair to say Phelps has competed in an era and sport that was absolutely more competitive internationally than Ladies gymnastics of the 50's and early sixties. Actually, a comparison feels odd if not somewhat uninformed.

Without checking is it safe to assume the Russian Ladies won team medals in that era just as Phelps has team/relay medals?
