Phelps will always be a legend! Awesome athlete
He left a legacy
@rekt posted 1 hour before and got no love poor guy. https://steemit.com/sports/@rekt/competing-against-his-childhood-hero
The minnow uphill battle...
And @rekt had a much better presentation and commentary.
I'm not a supporter of winner takes it all aka monopoly. Kinda happy that Michael Phelps at least lost one. His by birth body advantage has been utter disappointment for all other swimmers.
I know that as we get older our brains also get bigger. I think this has something to do with this young man's swimming ability.
Can you imagine the joy of coming in first over someone you have followed and looked up to? He must be over the moon.
I can only imagine the feeling Schooling must have experienced.
Simply Great Information and Presentation
It speaks to Michael Phelps' longevity and greatness.
I wonder if Phelps shared some swimming secrets/techniques with this young boy at the time???
Great post @warrensteem. Michael got a "Schooling" for sure.
