Micheal Phelps is my favorite athlete of all time. He holds the record for the most Olymipic gold medals with 23!
He is fun to watch .I love the summer Olympics when they're on. 
Ryan Lochte is really good too he is a 12-time Olymipic medalist but only has 6 gold compared to Micheals 23!
I think he won eight just in the 2008 Bejing Games alone. That is when he broke Mark Spitz's record.
Sadly most people forget about his medals and just remember him for his scandal Lochtegate.
I know he retired but came back in 2014 and won an award at the Arena Grand Prix in Charlotte.
Micheal is also the world record holder for the 100 meter butterfly and 200 meter butterfly
He might be part fish, not sure. He has a child I think. I bet he is swimming too.
