Profile | Michael Phelps is a retired American swimmer, who used to represent his country internationally from 2000 to 2016. He was most decorated Olympian of all-time, who bagged numerous medals for his country from several international championships in swimming. He is an expert in butterfly, individual medley, backstroke, and freestyle strokes, which helped him become the king of water. Phelps is considered the most triumphant athlete in the history of Olympics with four consecutive win-trails. He started swimming at the age of seven and by the age of 10, he held the national record in 100-meter butterfly division for his age group, within just a core dedication of 3-year! During his domestic days, Phelps made several records for different age-groups and became one of the most highlighted emerging swimmers of that time. In 2000, he began his international career with the Sydney Olympics at the age of 15 only and became the youngest male athlete to represent the US in Olympics. Unfortunately, he couldn’t clinch any medal in that Olympics and finished at fifth. His winning trail started from the World Championship in 2001, where he bagged a gold medal in the 200m butterfly event. In 2002, took participate in Pan Pacific Championship and won 5 medals including 3 gold medals among them. After this, it was impossible to hold this American flying fish anymore and soon he became one of the best swimmers in the world with his victories.
