Michael
Phelps:
Beneath the Surface
Eight medals, including six gold
and two bronze. Michael Phelps used the Olympic Games in Athens as his breakout
event. Already known in the swimming world for the summer of 2003 when he set
seven world records in 41 days, Michael’s record-tying medal haul made him a
mainstream name. He’s well on his way to his ambitious goal of “changing the
sport of swimming,” but despite Michael’s pre-eminence in the pool, his story
is not a swimming diary but a tale of adversities overcome and redemption
through persistence.
