Thanks for the link. Didn't know this part.

Michael Phelps is the first at the age of 31 years and 4 months to win an individual gold in an olympic event. Not only did he win a gold at his age, he won it in the 200 meter butterfly. His starts and turns seemed a bit off, but his core strength was amazing.

The 200 butterfly has to be the most demanding of olympic events. I know. I competed in butterfly at the Pan Am games when I was 16. He earned his place in olympic history.

Ray Lewis gave him the book and is still his mentor in Christ.
