A name that will be remembered for decades to come, if not centuries...
The greatest Olympian, to have collected a total of 14 gold medals in 2 Olympics games (Athens; 2004, Beijing; 2008).
He has created history by winning 8 gold medals in ONE OLYMPIC !
He will be well remembered. His history will be spoken by many. It will take another, much stronger person to overtake what he has done in the pool... And I wonder who this next person will be? When will he pop up? Will there ever be such a person in the 1st place?
He is currently unbeatable... And I wonder again how long will he stay unbeatable? How long will he hold his world recordS? Will he appear as strong in the next Olympic games in London?
I started watching swimming because of the mighty Thorpedo, Ian Thorpe. With Thorpe's retirement, Phelps spurred me on to continue supporting swimming. These two swimming giants are definitely people that I will remember and admire for life...
Salute to Phelps, the greatest Olympian...
