Micheal Phelps
For men, swimmer Michael Phelps of the United States has won 14. For women, gymnast Larissa Latynina has won 9. She also has the most total of any athlete with 18, compared to Phelps' 16. Phelps has 18 gold 22 olympic medals over all also has 11 single medals individual medals and he is goin to retire no more phelps. I don't think anybody will bet him, what do u think?
Since he was 15 years of age
Michael Phelps has been coached by Bob Bowman since he was 11 years old. He's only ever trained under Bob.
Michael Phelps because he has won many more medals than anybody in his sport. but his spotlight is dying and he is getting old.. other people are getting faster.... he was beat like twice already since then....
Not great but he was only 15 the youngest male Olympian since 1932
Mark Spitz, winning 7 medals, then a new record. This record has since been pasted by Alexander Dityatin in 1980 and Michael Phelps in 2004 and 2008; both athletes have won 8 medals in a single Olympics. But Spitz would retain the title of most gold medals until 2008 as Dityatin won 3 gold 5 silver and a bronze in 1980. Phelps won 8 gold medals in a single Olympic game in 2008, which set a new record of most gold medals in a single Olympic.
Since he was born in Baltimore, the people there call him the Baltimore Bullet I think.
He's been swimming since he was three but he has been non stop training for the Olympics since 2000. That was four years before the Olympics in Athens. So technically Michael Phelps has been training eight straight years for the 2008 Olympics in Beijing.
Ashley Finestone is Micheal Phelps girlfriend. They have been dationg for two years. They like to keep their relationship out of the spotlight, and have basically been private since they began dating.
