Michael Phelps Ready To Conquer 2012 Olympics
Michael Phelps - Olympic champion, Michael Phelps is ready to give it another go at the 2012 Olympic games. Despite his age, and the fact that he's no longer the American front-runner in the swimming arena, Michael Phelps still thinks he can come out on top:
"Being able to end your career on a great note is something every athlete wants," Phelps said, his voice picking up steam. "A lot of athletes have tried to come back and tried to come back and tried to come back. If I didn't think I was going to be able to finish on a good note, I never would've come back after Beijing. I would've just called it quits. But I had confidence in myself that I could put together four more good years to really put a stamp on my career."
Could Michael Phelps be talking about Michael Jordan, hered?
