OK - the Trials have just begun and the Olympics are a mere weeks away.
Michael Phelps has said this is his last Olympics and he'll retire from swimming after this event.
So => What do you think he'll probably do? Right now he trains by swimming at least twice a day and probably lifts weights too.
So - will he probably take a week off after the games and not swim? A month? Longer?
What do high-profile swimmers like this do when they retire. I know Rowdy Gaines is a champion masters swimmer but I'm just curious what happens.
I'm guessing he'll have to stay in some kind of shape to work on his foundation and attend public appearances.
I definitely do NOT see him becoming a commentator like Rowdy did after retirement. Phelps isn't the most articulate or intelligent athelete I have ever heard speak. :afraid:
Possibly not the most articulate, although he seems fine to me, and he is probably the greatest athlete any of us will hear speak. They don't come around that often.
