Antrea's favourite athlete

                                         Michael Phelps

     My favourite athlete is Michael Phelps. He was born June 30, 1985 in Baltimore. Michael is the best American swimmer, and the most decorated Olympian of all time, with a total of 22 medals.

     However he holds the all time records for Olympic gold medals, 11 Olympic gold medals in individual events, and 13 Olympic medals in individual events for a male. Winning 8 gold medals at the 2008 Beijing Games, Phelps has the record for the most first-place finishes at any single Olympic Games. In addition, in 2012 Summer Olympics in London, Mike won four golds and two silver medals, making him the most successful athlete of the Games for the third Olympics in a row! He is the long time world record-holder in the 100-meter butterfly, 200-meter butterfly and 400-meter individual medley as well as the former long course world record-holder in the 200-meter freestyle and 200-meter individual medley.

    This is why  i like him,, he won all the types of swimming, individuality,spending lot of hours in the pool, training every single day with his coach Bob Bowman. He push mike's limits in the maximum  without wasting time.

   After London Olympics, Michael retires ,living his life normaly , having good time with friends and continue without swimming , but advising  and inspire other swimmers.Giving tips of his successful lifestyle and health.
