Biographie

Michael Phelps is arguably the greatest Olympian ever. While some may argue that other athletes such as Usain Bolt, Carl Lewis, or Katie Ledecky should be given the title, Phelps' medal count speaks for itself. Even though Phelps competed in a sport which an extremely capable athlete can bag golds across different distances and strokes, his feats still blow away those of any other sportsperson.

The American has won 28 medals, including 23 gold medals, more than double the count of his nearest rivals. Even in swimming, just three athletes not named Michael Phelps – Mark Spitz (USA, nine golds), Matt Biondi (USA, eight golds), and Jenny Thompson (USA, eight golds) – has won more than six gold medals, making Phelps' total of 23 astonishing.

You can't put a limit on anything. The more you dream, the farther you get.”
