Michael Phelps

Today I am going to talk about Michael Phelps ,the American is the best swimmer in the world at the moment. He is the most decorated Olympian in all the time and he got 22 medals in three Olympiads and 18 of these medals are gold ones. 

His best fact was in the Beijing Olympics he won eight gold medals in 2008 in one Olympics Games.He won the 2003 Sullivan Award, and he was one of the youngest athlete in the United States. 

He was born 30th June,1985 in Baltimore ,MD.He competes in backstroke, butterfly, freestyle and individual medley.He trains in North Baltimore Aquatic Club and his coach is Bob Bowman. His height is 6’4″ tall .

He competed in his first Olympics at the age of 15 like a member of the U.S. men's swim team. He went on to win medals at the Olympic Summer Games in Athens, Beijing and London. 

He went to the University of Michigan but was ineligible to swim there, having accepted a sponsorship deal from Speedo swim wear. When he won the medals in the Beijing Games ,Speedo gave him $1million . For this fact his fans in Beijing nicknamed Michael Phelps the “Half-Man Half-Fish” and “Deep Sea Frog.”

He was setting the record for the most medal wins by any Olympic athlete. He announced his retirement in 2012. But in April 2014, he announced he was coming out of retirement and  he would return to professional competition at the age of 28.

His best fact was in the Beijing Olympics he won eight gold medals in 2008 in one Olympics Games. He won the 2003 Sullivan Award, and he was one of the youngest athlete in the United States.

The day of one athletic  is vey hard a lot hours training in the pool, gym ,healthy food.... She  begins the day  at 5am, when she spends two hours in the pool before heading to the gym. After breakfast, a brief rest, lunch and another pool session. She spends the other time coaching young kids in the local club or studying.
