Michael Phelps 🇺🇸 - All EIGHT Gold Medal Races at Beijing 2008! | Athlete Highlights

[@gmmgmmg]

I love how Phelps cheers way more and seems genuinely happier when he's competing in relays than when he's going solo. He's happier when he can share the victory with his teammates. True legend.

[@linuxbasic3399]

because he knows he has won solo event even before competing...

[@secondfirstsecond]

Because he himself finished second on relay.

Lies again? 10 Olympic Medals Squirt Water

[@baltonraven4507]

People don't truly understand how insane this is. To not only be the best in the United States at swimming but the World in MULTIPLE disciplines. The hours swimmers put in just to be a "good swimmer" is mind boggling. The guy is the greatest Olympian ever.

[@auntkaz422]

Truly he had it all. Even his body was proportioned perfectly to do what he did... Usually the distance from a person's fingertip to the other fingertip equals their height. Phelps "wingspan" was longer than he was tall perfect for swimming). Usually swimmers are really good at one stroke, he was "world record" good at many. And the form he had.. Just look at his butterfly. Freaking poetry in motion. His starts and turns were about as good as it gets (watch how he is still under water on the starts when others are already up and swimming and how he pulls ahead every time there is a turn). And I can't even tell you the voodoo he pulled on some of those close finishes. His strength training was totally on point and his endurance was beyond anything I have ever seen. To pull off a world record in the Olympics would take everything out of most people, but to swim event after event (and remember, he had to swim qualifying heats for each event as well as the final heat) shattering world record after world record, SEVEN TIMES in ONE Olympics?!! Truly, the GOAT if ever there was one. As impressive to see again today as it was watching it happen live "back in the day".

[@davidcerrato6395]

@The final Verdict This severely undermines people who achieve amazing things in the midst of poverty, war, sickness, and destruction. Michael Phelps got to where he was because he worked hard for it. There's a saying, "Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard." It doesn't matter how gifted you are or how good of an opportunity is presented to you if you don't utilize it to the fullest. Americans with all the best resources in the world still lose from folks around the world in all types of events, simply because they wanted it more and worked more for it. Michael Phelps is where he's at because he worked day and night for it. He's notorious for conducting upwards 3x the workout regiments his competitors were doing, ignoring people who tried to discourage his approach.

He made swimming popular more than ever. I still remember how he lost to Le clos in 2012 Olympics and came back in 2016 to prove his haters wrong. I missed him a lot during Tokyo Olympics.

Michael Phelps is the greatest Olympian of all times with 23 Olympic Gold Medals with 28 Olympic medals overall. This number is so mind blogging. Winning an Olympic gold medal is already such an achievement

[@ic8658]

I totally agree, he is in my opinion the greatest Olympian of all-time. However, I don't always look at the 28 medals as the only thing that makes him so amazing, because the reality is that swimming is a sport that really allows that medal count to sky rocket versus say, sprinting in track and field. They just have way more events in swimming. That being said, I have Phelps as #1 and Bolt as #2, in my opinion.

IC before Phelps and Spitz, Gymnastics, Athletics and Cross Country Skiing dominated the medal tally.

dudes body was just like the perfect vessel to become the greatest swimmer of all time. Has the almost crazilty perfect body for swimming with very long torso and arms and short legs. This disproportionately large chest enables Phelps to power himself through the water. It also means his legs produce less drag (or water resistance) with each stroke. His Wingspan is longer than his height. He is 6'4 and his wingspan is 6'7. And his short legs act like flippers almost. His body is just the perfect swimming machine. Of course it couldnt be done without the immense training and fitness, but the guy was definitely born with the perfect swimmer body.

[@abagofjuice5367]

he was also better because he was just more fit, swam more yardage, and he slept in altitude, which improved his breathing ranges, dudes lungs were twice the average size bc of all the altitude training/sleeping in a “altitude chamber” that he did. Although even before all that he was great when he was in age groups bc he’s just naturally talented but he also worked insanely hard, so he was pretty much unbeatable.

This feat will easily go down as the greatest Olympic feat in history. No one will ever be this dominant in multiple disciplines. If there's ever one person who can win every event in an Olympic decathlon, then we can talk about the greatest feat ever, but until that happens, this will remain the greatest. He not only broke the world record in 7 of the events, but he also totally destroyed them.
