Michael Phelps announced yesterday that he will not be coming back to the next Olympics in four years.
He made his statement after he won a gold medal.
He is an amazing athlete. I agree with him, there are times when a athlete needs to retire.
Sometimes it's wise not to overdue your success and to move on to another venture.
Do you agree with his recent announcement?

Well, certainly he can move on to the next place in his life. He's a married father now so sometimes that changes your priorities. Also, I mean there is allure to him going out on top. At a certain point your athletic career can only go down. I hope he is making the best decision for him.

I didnt know that he would not be in the next olympics. Thanks for the information.
And he really is an amazing athlete and everyone loves success, right? But every legend retires someday. This day was expected sooner or later.
