@@brian8614 Share your picture with us so we can make fun of you. Phelps isn't a perfect human being, but at least he isn't a nasty little idiot like you. And he is the greatest swimmer of all time. Sorry you're so jealous.

[@dm-gq5uj]

@@brian8614 I agree that DUI's are bad, although I wouldn't call it "attempted murder" since the driver is not actually trying to kill anybody. That doesn't mean it's not serious. But people do stupid stuff and make mistakes - Phelps included. Thank God nobody was actually hurt. If he does it again, I would be very hard on him, but I hope he has learned his lesson. I have a cousin who got a DUI and he won't get anywhere near a steering wheel if he has had even 1 drink!

KukJin Jang people change don’t disrespect someone you don’t know behind your computer. He’s inspired thousands of people and is clearly a better person than you because your merely jealous

MP is a true motivation. Going through all the pressure in those years and surviving a suicide, coming back stronger. He shares his thoughts in such a nice way. A very good interview.

It's May 1, 2023, 6:49am. I live in Yuma Arizona. I am pushing 64 years old. Swimming has always been my sport. I'm a diabetic, have a wonderful younger brother 57 years old. I weighed nearly 240 pounds. Long story short, I weigh 129 pounds now, I'm pushing 64 years old, and had "Phelps Fever" during his Olympic win streak. I am a classically trained opera singer and pianist. My brother restores classic cars to their original glory. We lost his wife a few years ago suddenly to an abdominal aortic aneurysm. I am the proud new owner of a Michael Phelps Swimspa and worked on it all weekend and have it all figured out. I'm not a social media person. I now donate $10 a month to perpetuity to his foundation. I went through the Mark Spitz era, thank you MP for motivational spirit to me!

[@scottmartin01]

Undoubtedly one of the greatest athelete. People talk lot abt working smartly but if you listen him, we will find that he has worked literally very hard with discipline and commitment over many years and worked towards achieve all small goals. Top of all he believed himself and never bothered what others think about him.

Michael is an example of how a boy without a father if given a mentor who believes in him will do just fine in life. Rise up men! We need you to help our kids whose fathers either can’t or don’t want to be the fathers they need. You can change the boys’ lives forever!

MP you are a phenomenon, a rarity with special attributes and blessed with the right drive, skill set and support system to succeed. The stars were all aligned perfectly and your life, through incredible hard work over a period of many years, sheer perseverance and high excellence have yielded a super high achieving Olympian and humanitarian. Each medal is the culmination of hundreds of 1000s of hours of pool and exercise workouts that are so well deserved. You gave us lots of happy memories and thrilled us with each race which we'll relive through YT. Congratulations on your successful Olympic career, you've made all Americans proud and you smashed the records with your outstanding achievements that are so over-the-top, we can't thank you enough.. Thank you for speaking up about depression and destigmatizing a major health concern for ppl all over the world. You're an inspiration and a positive force for mental health and water safety and making the public aware of important issues where public funding needs to be directed and publicized. Many blessings from an appreciative fan. 🌷

[@KansaiBoxer]

I was surprised by the comparatively few views and scant comments. People can’t begin to fathom his level of achievement. He’s left with the challenge of describing it all. Not easy. He trained for swimming, not explaining.
