Michael Fred Phelps Ii

This athlete has earned the nickname “Baltimore Bullet” for a reason. Michael Fred Phelps II - this is the full name of the famous American swimmer - managed to win 23 Olympic Games, 13 of them in individual competitions. Today he is the record holder for the number of awards, which no one has yet managed to surpass.

Michael Phelps was born in June 1985 in Baltimore, Maryland. Michael was one of 3 children of school director Deborah Sue Davisson and football player Michael Fred Phelps. When Michael was 9 years old, his parents' marriage ended. The boy was painfully worried about the divorce of his father and mother. In the 6th grade, the future sports star was diagnosed with hyperactivity and attention deficit.

The older sister brought his 7-year-old brother to the pool. After 3 years, the boy broke the national record for his age group. An experienced coach Bob Bowman took over the further career of a talented swimmer.

Under the guidance of a mentor, Michael rapidly climbed the sports Olympus. At the age of 15, Michael was selected to compete in the 2000 Olympics, becoming the youngest competitor in the history of the games. Then, in Sydney, Australia, the swimmer managed to win only 5th place. But a year later, Michael surprised everyone by breaking the world record. In the United States, Phelps was named the 2001 Swimmer.

But that was just a glorious start. In 2003, after graduating from high school, the 17-year-old athlete set world records 5 times. But fame came to him the following year at the Athens Olympics. Before Michael Phelps, 8 medals, of which 6 were gold, could only be won by the Russian gymnast Alexander Dityatin in 1980. As for swimming, the American was a pioneer.

In the same 2004, Phelps moved with his own permanent coach Bob Bowman to Michigan. Here Michael entered the university, choosing the Faculty of Sports Management.

In 2007, Michael went to Melbourne, where he participated in the World Championship. Here Phelps managed to win 7 gold medals and set 5 world records. Phelps's name is becoming a household name for the world's swimmers.

But the athlete himself saw in front of him those peaks that remained unconquered. Michael dreamed of breaking the record of compatriot Mark Spitz. He at the Olympic Games, which were held in Munich in 1972, managed to win 7 gold medals. Phelps trained hard. And at the Olympics in Beijing, China in 2008, the athlete managed to achieve what he wanted: 8 gold medals. Spitz's record, which had previously been called "eternal", was reached and beaten.

In 2009, the athlete was accused of doping. The paparazzi captured a swimmer with a pipe for smoking marijuana. And although the athlete's tests were clean, and cannabis smoking is not prohibited out of competition, the US Swimming Federation exponentially disqualified Phelps for three months for disappointing people who believe in him.

The sports biography of Michael Phelps is a series of real triumphs. During his career, the American champion managed to win 19 Olympic gold medals and beat world records 32 times - a result that most swimmers in the world can only dream of.

In 2012, after the London Olympics, 27-year-old Michael Phelps announced his decision to put an end to his sports biography. After participating in this Olympics, the swimmer surpassed all athletes in all sports in the number of Olympic awards. Michael Phelps received 22 medals at that time and broke the record set by the Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina. This record was held for 48 years.

But in 2014, the athlete took part in the games again. The champion's fans heard the same words about the end of his career in 2016: the swimmer again announced that the Olympics in Brazil would be his last. In Rio de Janeiro, Phelps once again met the expectations of his fans. The athlete managed to break his own record for gold medals.

Now Michael Phelps is a 23-time Olympic champion. He has 28 awards in his piggy bank, collected from all the Olympics in which he participated. At the same time, 13 of the swimmer's 23 gold medals belong to individual competitions, which allowed the athlete to break another record. Moreover, this record remained unattainable for 2168 years: in 152 BC, the ancient Greek athlete Leonid of Rhodes received 12 gold medals in the individual competition.

It was not only a sports career that developed well, but also the personal life of Michael Phelps. He is happily married to model Nicole Johnson, who was named Miss California in 2010.

In May 2016, Nicole gave birth to the happy wife of her first child, whom the couple named Robert. Michael Phelps shared his joy with his fans, saying that he has never experienced greater happiness.

The couple have been together since 2010. The athlete assures that now he simply has to spend more time with his grown up family. And the swimmer really sticks to this plan, in Phelps' Instagram in every second photo the athlete is captured with his family.

The athletic achievements of the swimmer are often associated, in addition to swimming technique, with the features of Phelps' figure. Michael has a 47th foot, which is statistically larger than the average for his height. The athlete also has disproportionately short legs and a long torso and arms. At the same time, the swimmer's arm span reaches, according to various estimates, 201-203 cm, which is as much as 10 cm more than the athlete's own height (193 cm).

The weight of the athlete is 83 kg, which is not so remarkable if it were not for the myth of the "Phelps diet". Against this background of the swimmer's victories, the diet attributed to him with 10,000-12,000 calories consumed has become especially popular. But the athlete himself claims that he has never eaten so much.

The swimmer advertises and acts as the face of the LZR Racer tracksuits. In addition, the athlete launched his own personalized brand of specialized swimming goggles. The design of the glasses was developed by Phelps himself in collaboration with trainer Bob Bowman.

Michael Phelps has proved more than once that he has no competitors among people. Therefore, in 2017, the swimmer agreed to an unusual competition proposed by the Discovery TV channel. At a distance of 100 meters, the Olympic champion competed with a white shark. In this competition, the swimmer lost, the shark covered the 100-meter distance faster by 2 seconds.

On February 12, 2018, Michael Phelps became a father for the second time. The athlete shared this news on Instagram, saying that both Nicole and the baby are doing well.
