Michael Phelps: Legacy established, Mission Accomplished!!

I think Phelps will try to win as many more medals as possible having been to London. I do not know the reason for his lesser performance this year.

I enjoyed reading your post. I really think Michael Phelp will retire after this Olympic 2012 this year. I say this because he is now entering his late 20s and this in my opinion is old for an olympian. Another opinion I would like to state is that he has proven himself countless times and I feel he should progress and continue with other areas beyond swimming. In other words, he should just live his life. After accomplishing so many medals, training, and putting his life on hold due to training purposes it is only befitting that he transition to the next level. 19 Olympic medals, makes Michael Phelp the Michael Jordan of swimming if there were ever such a thing. What are your thoughts? All comments, feedback, and suggestions are encouraged and appreciated.

I am totally happy for Michael Phelps that he is born to win and have fame for Olympics. He may have good example to the whole nation and inspire other athletes. He is good and lucky enough to have that kind of fate because not all people can have the opportunity to be Olympian like him. He really made it on the history. With his 1 gold and 1 silver ironically with his 1 gold he just got it with his team in riley. Nevertheless it is still the game and I believe to Phelp's credibility of being greatest Olympian. In every game there is a winner and a person who will lose that Michael Phelps even experienced that. Because if he didn't lose then I doubt it that he will be that champion.

Maybe he would consider to join tract and field next? What other could do, he can do better. He has got enough of his gold medals in the pool. Time for a new play ground.
