Michael Phelps, born on 30th June 1985, in Baltimore, Maryland, is widely regarded as the greatest swimmer of all time. From a young age, Phelps displayed exceptional talent in the pool, and his hard work and dedication quickly paid off. He qualified for the 2000 Sydney Olympics at just 15 years old, becoming the youngest male to make a U.S. Olympic swim team in 68 years.
Phelps's career skyrocketed in the 2004 Athens Olympics, where he won six gold and two bronze medals. However, it was the 2008 Beijing Olympics that cemented his legacy. Phelps won an unprecedented eight gold medals, breaking Mark Spitz's 1972 record for most golds in a single Olympic Games.
In total, Michael Phelps's Olympic career spanned five Games from 2000 to 2016, during which he amassed 28 medals - 23 of them gold. This incredible achievement makes him the most decorated Olympian of all time. His versatility in the pool is unmatched, excelling in butterfly, freestyle, and medley events.
Beyond the Olympics, Phelps has set numerous world records and won countless World Championship titles. His impact on the sport of swimming is profound, inspiring generations of swimmers around the world. After his retirement, Phelps has continued to influence the sport through his foundation, which promotes water safety and healthy living.
