The Greatest Olympian of All Times


For many people getting the chance to participate in the Olympic is a dream. For many others, getting a medal, even a bronze one, in this grand competition, is a life time achievement. For Michael Phelps, one gold medal was not enough, two was not enough,…,five was not enough.....it was only being the grandest Olympian of all times that was enough. He broke the all time record of 7 gold medals in one Olympic held by Mark Spitz for 36 years. Phelps has collected 8 gold medals in one Olympic, making him self the champion of all times Olympic and he will keep that record for years to come. What an achievement!!!
How is that possible for some people to achieve so much more than others? Michael Phelps has the answer,
“Nothing is impossible," Phelps said. "With so many people saying it couldn't be done, all it takes is an imagination, and that's something I learned and something that helped me.”
