Michael is a true Athlete, he does what he does because he loves what he does! You can't be a competitive swimmer and not love it. He's so inspirational and such a role model.
It must be so hard to retire from something you have done for almost your whole life and with such great success, especially if you are still young and fit enough to carry on. Would love to see Michael successful in Rio. What an outstanding guy he is and such a wonderful ambassador for sport.
"told reporters he hadn't felt so nervous about a race since he was a 10-year-old" ... if only there was a video record of just such an early race... edition.cnn.com/2014/04/25/sport/michael-phelps-comeback-second/
