Phelps' conqueror Schooling retires - 'Bittersweet' as Olympic champion exits the pool | Swimming

Joseph Schooling, who beat Michael Phelps in the 100-metre butterfly to win Singapore's first and only Olympic gold medal at Rio de Janeiro in 2016, announced his retirement on Tuesday.
It was the American swimming legend Phelps' last individual race of his career and came after Phelps won a record eight gold medals at the London Olympics in 2012.
Schooling said he has no regrets as he closed out his decorated career, but felt he had wasted some of the momentum of his Olympic triumph, saying he got "complacent".
Schooling said he keeps in touch with Phelps on social media, who he has always said was a source of inspiration during his career.
Schooling holds eight Singapore records, six in individual events and two in the relays.
In 2022, Schooling was forced to apologise for using cannabis in Vietnam while competing there on leave from military service.
"I regret putting my loved ones and my family through all the angst and and the scrutiny of it," Schooling said when asked about the incident, "If I'm better tomorrow than I am today, I'll take it".
