When Michael Phelps Was Just a Teenager | Before They Were Superstars 

😂

More chromosomes than I have

no one in History has more Olympic Gold Medals

He is definitely the best athlete in the world. No one can deny that. To do so would be just plain stupid.

Sarah V actually in his last olympics he said: "...and i won a few medals" hahahha

ValMil OG Fidget Spinner

thatguywho HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that's exactly what I wanted to say HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

sweet, huh? and made in the USA, baby! (his ride, not the spinners) lol

@@Research0digo It’s really bulky though and has so many unnecessary features that’ll just drive up the price

After he started smoking pot, he went up on the cool-o-meter.

Didn't we all.

He would be the gold medal himself

How's 28

@@vaishakkamath9434 he got 28 medals, 23 were gold

And Chase Kalisz won a gold medal this year at Tokyo! How amazing!

Obviously. U do need the perfect body shape and the perfect conditions to be the best. And on top of that u need an incredible work ethic. Everybody has the potential to be great at sth. For me, its not swimming as my arms and my body in general is too short. By now, i cannt compete at higher levels lile 4 years ago f.e. But there are other things which o can do good. Afterall, he completely deserved it. And he made the right choice. If he would have pushed to become a male super model he would have failed most probably...

the being double jointed part just means he was born to be a swimmer. and you can have the most natural talent in anything but if u dont have a work ethic then u wont go anywhere with it

I know so many people who swim who are built and naturally talented and fail to live up to their expectations because they lack the will to work to succeed. The key to success is utilizing your surroundings (i.e. being on an amazing club) to your advantage in addition to putting forth 100% effort

So does usain bolt,his big figure did help him.

How do double joints help with swimming? I'm just curious. I can see it with artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, diving, and artistic swimming bc you need the flexibility.

Darth Vader are u stupid he is already a olympian

Lee JIAWeiYT No he/she is not stupid, do you even know what being sarcastic means? Also don't call him/her stupid, if you can't even spell you, or are you just too lazy to write you?

Lee JIAWeiYT someone can't take a joke

Lee JIAWeiYT are you stupid, it was a joke. How old are you?

godsmacks1000 he got 23 gold medals

godsmacks1000 he got 23 gold medals

godsmacks1000 well, he ended up being the greatest athlete of all time.....so yeah he sid get that medal

How do you not know him

Guys I think he meant in that specific Olympics

Isabela Cameron apparently you've never swam.

Isabela Cameron and apparently you never learnt how to spell the word lose

Patrick Callow Lots of things are impossible. You can't swim three miles in ten seconds.

Jason Kroll the word itself [Impossible] says "I'm possible!"

I am swimming 500 freestyle on Thursday swim meet I can do it !!!

Its my last goal for swimming :) Accomplishing 500 freestyle :)

That's not true and that's not what MP said. He said lots of things are possible. That's not that same as anything is possible. You can't run a marathon in three seconds. That's impossible. Humans have limits. That said, the limits are probably not what we think they are, for most of us. We can do more than we probably think we can, but that's not the same thing as thinking you can do anything.

Madison Price I'm 12 and I swim 11 hours a week and do 3 hours land training a week

Madison Price I'm 80 years old and I do 20 hours a week of training and 10 hours a week of land training. It's pretty simple

Keep your dreams alive :)

He's 80 years old; he doesn't have time to keep his dreams alive since he's going to be dead soon.

Eric He You know it!

Temo Barajas was

@@Nedward7483 who is now

@@sandysun8520 maybe dressel

If he cant get one gold, he should be satisfied with 1 medal of any colour.

William Dillery they've been around since the early 90s

hahh i thought it to

Yeah I reallllllly wonder

James Ambrocio appreciate them and appreciate the new talent. Fantastic up and comers

@@user-em4wh5ji3w yeah Katie ledecky and Caleb dressel r beasts

@@chloewu2760 David popovici is too, he might be the one who kinda stops usa’s win streak when Dressel retires

Agustín Gómez q

Which city?

Emma W At that time he had already broken a couple world records.

Having Phelps light the cauldron in LA 2028 will be great enough. He's got a wife and couple of kids now, so I doubt Phelps will comeback any time soon.

This aged well lol

Hello Darkness i definitely cant imagine

so do I.

Hes just like all the other overhyped kids that you see videos about on youtube. Watch this kid will probably work the rest of his life in a fast food job flipping burgers struggling to pay off his student loans like the rest of us.

@@noonehere4332 for real, they'll literally give clout to anyone these days

Well he hadn't won an Olympic gold yet when this was made. A lot of swimming commentators felt he had a lot of talent but was "unproven". Phelps of course, silenced all doubt in Athens a year later.

omg..lol

He is so happy with the spinners
