MICHAEL PHELPS INTERVIEW

In this text we are going to show you the interview with Michael Phelps, the famous Olympic-swimmer that had won 16 Olympic medals. He told us his story and his job and he talk also about a couple of anecdotes in his life.

The interviewer asked Michael Phelps if his accomplishments had set in. Phelps agreed, and he explained that his adventures in Peking 2008 had changed his life forever.

Then he was asked if he knew that his first event in Athens was special, and the swimmer answered that he had tried not to think in that. He said that each event, one at a time had been his approach and it had worked out.

The interviewer asked him if his experience in the 2000 Olympic Games when he was 15 had groomed him for what was to come in Athens. Phelps agreed with him and he said that he had been a little less nervous because he had had a better idea of what competing on that grand stage would be like.

Then the interviewer asked Michael if Aqua-man was his favorite super hero, and the athlete told him that he didn’t have a favorite and that he had been asked this question a lot of times.

Back to the main topic, the interviewer asked Phelps if he swam every day and he answered that he had used to swim every day, but in that time he just swam six days a week, and he clarified that those six days were pretty intense. He told them too that he was in the pool from two to five hours a day and that after that time his hands and feet got really prune-like.
