Phelphs wins everything is correct, it means he wins all competions in which he participates.
Sometimes when we say that it´s a stretch of sorts, one can win some and lose some; but it´s like this with sports it adds emphasis, drama!
So, wins all gold medals or everything would mean the same, in this context.

In fact, one example is that Phelps lost his first race in four years to Germany's Paul Biedermann in 2009. He finished second then. But, he is seen standing so many times in the top of the podium that one can see he wins everything, it´s a figure of speech, and almost the real thing in his case.
