Michael Phelps, US swimming icon, says that the London Olympics will be his last. He was one of the most highly watched athletes in the last Olympics in Beijing in 2008, where he won a record 8 gold medals.
One of those gold medal races is the demonstration if will and sheer desire,
as he seemingly grew a couple extra inches, just enough to catch up to and defeat Milorad Cavic of Serbia by 1/100 of second!
If Michael Phelps can work his magic again in London, he will retire as
the most decorated Olympic athlete in history. To overtake the old record,
he needs only to win three medals. Winning a remarkable total of
16 medals in just the past two Olympic Games, three should be
a walk in the park (or a dip in the pool if you prefer) for Phelps.
The world will certainly miss Michael Phelps. Swimming will miss their greatest ambassador.
The United States will miss a great champion.
