Question

Is Michael Phelps retiring after the '08 Olympics?

Answer 1

He did say he'll try to get 8 gold medals in the 2008 Beijing Olympics. And I heard he's not retiring. I just hope he won't retire soon. I mean, he can still win so much more.  He's only 23 after all. But like others say, he'll take it easy and give others a chance.

He's my favorite swimmer, and I would like to see him compete in the next Olympics in London, 2012. But I guess it's up to him now.

Answer 2

I hope so, whats he gonna do he has won every medal and broke every record he should just retire and relax. Super Athlete but please give someone else a go in the next olympics :)

Answer 3

i sure hope not. i like to see him in 2012 in london

Answer 4

Yes, he said Beijing will be the last Olympics for him.

Answer 5

He will come to London but not with that crazy goal and those many events.

He will take advantage of his youth in Beijing and complete the 8 gold medals goal and then he will take it easy in London but continue to quietly rank in more medals.  

Answer 6

In an interview with Andrea Kramer he said he will likely come to the next Olympics, but he won't do as many events because the schedule is just too tiring for him.
