Michael Phelps Goes Out with Gold as Greatest Olympian of All Time

Few titles could be more flattering than “Greatest Olympian of All Time”. Michael Phelps has managed to do what many felt impossible. Phelps has been awarded 22 medals including 18 gold medals in various swimming events. He has been a part of Olympics most dramatic victories over the last three Olympics – most notably the achievement of winning eight gold medals in Beijing 2008. His last race of this Olympics was a relay in which the team won gold. Phelps insists that this is the last Olympics he will be a part of – still under 30 years of age he is the most decorated Olympian of all time.

The THERAPY-IV which has had extensive coverage of the London Olympics are Phelps fans and believe he’s not only performed extremely well as an individual swimmer but has personified American dominance in the sport for over 12-years.  The Miami deep sea fishing charter hopes to continue covering the Olympics as we move into team sport finals and the ever popular track and field.

Michael Phelps is undoubtedly going to receive pressure to continue competing next Olympics but his decision not to must be a difficult yet necessary one. Though he is still very young, he has competed for over ten years in some of the most intense training and incredible pressure. Athletes like Phelps can sometimes long for the type of life that everyone else has. The spot light can become a burden after a prolonged period of time.

Some other things to look for in the second half of these Olympics are the team sports finals. The THERAPY-IV was able to accurately predict the US Women’s Gymnastics Team would win gold. However, two other predictions they had of the US Women’s Soccer and US Men’s Basketball would also win are yet to be seen. We’re confident and fully support our team – Go USA!!!!!!
