Beautiful tribute. Olympics aren't the same without him. But I'm grateful to have been able to watch him swim for 16 years.

Bro trained every day for 6 years won everything and was unbelievably dominant. Probably one of the best and most dominant GOATs in all sports straight up...

Glad to have been alive during the Phelps Area, Usain Bolt, And Messi era

[WyattPierce-joqf]

He inspired everyone throughout his career, and still inspires people today. He’s my hero.

[lavdimemini]

The athlete who made me fall in love with swimming.

I would imagine the best part of a career as a professional athlete is not winning your event, but standing with competitors you yourself have inspired to become winners.

Phelps will always be the goat of swimming, no matter how fast others are and no matter if they get to beat his world records. Phelps will always be the one who will inspire me and other swimmers because he is the GOAT.

Lezak swimming down his opponent is unforgettable. Truly a top olympic moment of all time.

[ferdinandusruruk]

His records in collecting gold medals at the olympic would never be broken in 100 years ahead..

Forget swimming, Phelps is one of the greatest ATHLETES of all-time. One of the intangibles of those that are truly legendary is the manner in which they accomplish their feats; and the way Phelps accomplished his was magical; which brings up another point being that there is a certain air around some athletes of invincibility, Ie. Jordan, Messi, Tyson, Federer etc...and Phelps. This guy reached a status that few athletes do, and deservedly so. To hear him talk about his dedication to his craft helps you to understand why he was so great. And a cannabis user; I knew there was another reason I like him.🏊‍♂🌳🌳🔥😚💨

[marcopolo]
