HOW TEAMUSA BRINGS HOME THE GOLD AND SO MUCH MORE FROM RIO OLYMPICS 2016 - GO MICHAEL PHELPHS! (1416 hits)
During Phelps’ qualifying heat Monday, NBC commentators called his style the “most beautiful butterfly in history,” remarking on his even-tempered, gentle stroke.
The same well-rehearsed stroke carried him to victory Tuesday, as his fianceé, Nicole Johnson, and newborn son, Boomer, looked on from the stands.
In addition to his two medals (so far) at the 2016 Games, Phelps won six at the 2012 London Olympics, eight in Beijing in 2008, and another eight in Athens in 2004.
“I’m 30 years old and swimming almost faster than I ever have before,” Phelps told IOC News before the Rio Games began.
