When you think of the Olympic you think of Phelps and Bolt.
Absolute domination.
I feel whenever these legends on their way to the track.... A boss music should be played 😂 absolute domination
Fastest land and water humans😅
No I think of overpaid fake heroes
So true
Not missing training session for continuous 6 years is itself a record
it is also bullshit
@@mikhailsporyshev9772 why did you say that ?
@@mikhailsporyshev9772 Cry More
My record is 8 months and I am still proud of it 😂😂😂
His gold medals more than india history Olympic medals 😂
Beijing Olympics were amazing. The domination of Phelps in the pool, and Bolt on the track was unprecedented. Will be a long time before we see such historic performances during a single Olympic games.
lol out for Simone Biles in the gym in Tokyo, if she keeps this up.
Except cheating Chinese athletes

He wins 8 GOLD mrdals Gets 1 million and spends it on young swimmers WHAT A LEGEND.
MICHEAL PHELPS IS A DEFINATION OF BREAKING AND SETTING RECORDS.
Beijing 2008 was honestly the best Olympic games ever! Phelps and Bolt were absolutely legendary!
Michael Phelps always knew how to win and he'd never let his teammates down. He well deserved what he'd achieved as he was so disciplined that he'd never missed a training day for six years.

Most decorated olympian swimmer of all time MICHAEL PHELPS
U mean most decorated Olympian , athelete
Most decorated Olympian!
Olympian
Vivek bindra
Most decorated Olympian of all time
I swear there's something w/ naming ur kid Michael
1) Michael Phelps - Best swimmer in the world
2) Michael Jordan - Best basketball player in the world
3) Michael Jackson - Best entertainer in the world
I also thought about this lol
That’s the reason why I was going to name my kid Michael because of all those famous people
MIchael Schumacher, F1 driver
What about Michael Ekert
Michael Norman
Imagine how much faster Spitz could go if it wasn't for the drag factor of his epic moustache..
He also swam without goggles or a cap!!
I think the moustache made a massive downforce
🤣 This must be the reason why Tom Selleck never made the US team.
0:57 Zlatan is so boss that he swims in the Olympics in his free time.
The most underrated comment ever!!!
😂🤣🐐
Yeah i saw that Zlatan 😀
True
That 100m win gave me goosebumps along with tears of joy.
SOID! THE! (CHA-M-PION)!!! MICHAEL!!! PHELPS!!! THE! (G,O,A,T/OLY-M-PIAN/SWI-M-M-ER)!!!
8000 Calories a day, he certainly represents the US diet
Except he burns it off
I can barely eat 2,500. I don’t how he does it
@@randomguy8228 he's been on record calling his Olympic diet a job in itself
@@randomguy8228 When you start working out HARD you get stupidly hungry, fast. I know from experience.
@@randomguy8228
Dhfhrrhrhruey.
Gonna miss watching him this Olympics. Have to go back 25yrs to an Olympics without Phelps in it.
Mike is secretly a fish
I was, am and will always be a Phelps fan....
The Olympics wouldn't be the same without him.😢
Beijing Olympics will always be my favorite :
1. Phelps's record 8 medals - unreal ♔
2. Lightning Bolt stunning the world ⚡
3. Roger Federer winning Olympic Gold with compatriot Wawrinka 😍❤
4. Leo Messi's Argentina winning Olympic gold 😍🔥
5. And finally India's first ever individual Olympic gold by Abhinav Bindra 🔥✊
BEST OLYMPIC EVER 🙌🙌
Wow, it is sad what some people will do for likes. You seriously think people won’t notice the exact same one with 800+ likes written 18 months before this?
You made a mistake. You said Phelps was defending his 200 Metres Freestyle from Athens. He won bronze in Athens. I think you were supposed to say that for the 200 Butterfly.
SOID! THIS! IS! (NO)!!! MIS-TAKE! SOID! THIS! IS! (REA-L)!!! THE! (SWI-M-M-ER)!!! IS! MICHAEL!!! PHELPS!!! THE! (G,O,A,T/O-L-Y-M-PIAN/SWI-M-M-ER)!!!
@@mrmikespence1964 you alright bruh?
You’re right Joey Jerry Michael Phelps was third in 2004 behind Ian Thorpe
TBH not only his coach but the nature also trained him for swimming... Just look at his physique... He has every cut and turn on his body that a swimmer needs...
Fish like body
Large sized feet
Huge and wider arms.....
It's the perfect conditions. The planets aligned. Perfection.
He wasn’t defending his 200m freestyle from Athens, he was the bronze medalist behind Thorpe and Van den Hoogenband.
i was confused myself until i went into wiki to check. Great call out.
Bolt and Phelps the stars who lit up olympics from 2008-16
The greatest Olympian that has ever lived. No debate

Yes there is, it's called being right. It's terribly inconvenient I know.
Truly the greatest Olympic champion of all time !!
He is undoubtedly the greatest swimmer and he is undoubtedly great human being.
If there’s one thing i learnt from this video it’s that Michael phelps is HUGE
My favorite olympics is the Beijing one. Everyone was amazing!
me too
Trying to get my head around his achievements in his career makes my head hurt.
That's true sportsmanship of investing that money for future generation swimmers 🙏🏼
Thank you olympic channel for uploading!
We must feel lucky to have seen greatness unfold in our times. Phelps, bolt, ronaldo, messi, kobe 😞, lebron, and many many more.

Phelps gives people lesson Practice makes perfect.
My God! He's incredible!!!
It is in those practise sessions that champions are being made, Olympic event is the place where they just come and pick up their medals 🥇.
Phelps and Bolt showed what true dominance is..If track had more events like running backwards or crawling or whatever Im absolutely sure Bolt wouldve won a dozen medals too
swimming events are so different lol... bolt could’ve ran hurdles or longer distances and relays and won a similar amount
@@justinlee1379 he did win relays and i dont think he could've, those would require very different training..
@@neloysinha8098 Exactly... swimming strokes and distances are like that as well-- they require completely different training. Running backwards and crawling aren't equivalents to different swimming events, a more accurate comparison would be hurdles/steeple/100-200m vs 400m. That's why Phelps is absolutely unprecedented as a swimmer because he did an insane range of events and was dominant in basically every stroke but breastroke. He swam sprints and mid-distance, and destroyed everyone who specialized in those specialties. Bolt only did sprints. He was absolutely the best at that, but Phelps was a league ahead in terms of dominating the sport overall.
My point about relays is that Bolt could've won as many medals if he did hurdles, and the 400, and the 400 relay. He didn't win as many medals because he never attempted anything outside of sprinting
@@justinlee1379 agree
2008 olympics was really the most epic one with all the rising stars and crazy records
"Spitz dominated in the pool", meanwhile bellyflopping: 0:24
The most dominant athlete in Olympics with an undisputed 23 gold medals
this guy wasnt even in the current competition he wanted to break someone else's record of the past this show he is soo great
And they say The great MICHAEL PHELPS is not an alien:)

What a legend ! 🥇
i'm a swimmer and i always find myself watching this in between state championship heats and finals for extra inspiration .
If you ever read this Michael, you have inspired me to be the best that I can in my life.

I Was 12 When Phelps And Bolt Create A History In The OG And World Of Sport Itself .. I Read The News At School And Don't Have Any Ideas How Great That Was Until I Reach 14 When I Read A Lots Of Books And Sources About The Sports World In The Past 100 Years When Nadia Comaneci Hit The Perfect10 Score, Mark Spitz Won 7 Gold In The 1972 OG, Carl Lewis The King Of Track, Indonesian Badminton Team In The 80's 90's, Etc Until Then I Didn't Understand Any Of This Sport History ... Thanks To The OG 2008 Beijing ... Phelps Messi And Bolt Is The New Generation Hero And History Maker Of Sport World And I'm So Thankful Living In Their Generation A Story That We Can Tell And Pass On To Our Grandkids 💕

Phelps didn't win against Cavic, Cavic finished first. But Phelps is the greatest swimmer ever no question about that.
?
Phelps beat cavic what are you talking about.
Phelps is my favourite. ❤️From India
Legend. The greatest of all time.
People keep talking about GOATs. Well here’s the greatest GOAT there ever will be !!
2008 is truly the best olympics, it was the rise of phelps and bolt
not missing even one single training day is in itself a world record
I'm happy, sir.♥️
Hahahaha
Everyone: *talking about Phelps*
Me: *How does he not have goggle suntan marks*
He swims in doors I believe. That or he just straight up doesn't tan
tan occurs with long exposure to UV rays as darker skin protects better against it so genrally skins start producing pigments if it feels constant uv exposure to make skin darker thats y people at beach wearing sunglasses and bikinis get tan. cause they mostly sit/sleep on the sand and go in the sea once in a while... but in his case he is constantly swimming and always in pool so his body and face are mostly cool and his skin isn't in direct contact with UV rays due to water droplets on his body hence no tan.
Phelps greatest swimmer of all time
the greatest of all time
Man... what a goat!
Everyone is praising him for his world records and gold medals. But guys just check out his unbelievable practice sessions. Dude was training for 6 full years without any day off.
Best Olympian that ever lived
G.O.A.T OF SWIMMING " PHELPS " ❤
The legends live long😊...
He’s an legend
What a champion.
MONSTRO!
I love him so much
Not missing a single training day for 6 years!!! Now you know legends are not born.. they are forged!!
Really inspiring.
Phelps is the greatest swimmer of all time 💪💪💪
Keeping a 8000 calorie diet a day is already a Gold medal. 🏅
Félicitation 🙌💖
Raimundo Nonato Justino da Costa jhih
Still remember Beijing. So insane to watch.
What a legend
greatest olympian of all time
Nothing compares
Wonderful Phelps !
Outstanding athletes with an amazing amount of olympic medals. Although they are variations in the same discipline. Imo , what impresses the most , is if an athlete win medals 3,4 or 5 olympic games in a row , not the amount of medals. It’s easier to win more medals in swimming , track , shooting & gymnastics than in boxing , high jump , wrestling or triathlon.
ellavorn raiponce : no no , I agree with you in all that , of course it takes unimaginable efforts and stamina to achieve that. Poor choice of words on my part , sorry for that. What I mean is , that for an athlete to keep beeing in that mindset for 12-16 years is more amazing to me. Only beeing able to win a single medal , every 4 years. Imagine the knucklehead stubborness , hahaha. It’s not like a boxer could alternate in the weightclasses , so he has to be like that.
I met him at Arizona state university at an event. He was cool enough to take a selfie with me.
now i'm jealous
He has won more medals than half of the world .
Wht
What a Guy
Greatest of them all
Just to put things into perspective
