Question

With his 8th Gold Medal Michael Phelps won the Fina Award as best swimmer. Did he win it in 2004 also?

Answer 1

Nope, but he should have...I mean, aren't six gold medals good enough?

He was actually scheduled to swim in a relay, but gave his spot up to Ian Crocker, his team mate...talk about sportsmanship.

Answer 2

no he didn't

Answer 3

No, he didn't win it in 2004. Scheduled to swim in the last relay, he gave up his spot to his team mate Crocker, making him, at the least, Sportsman of the year.

"It's tough to give up the relay; it really is," Phelps said. "But Ian is one of the greatest relay swimmers in the world."

But he left the pool as the biggest winner of the Olympics, if only because he made his teammate feel like a million bucks."

What a Guy!!!!!!!

Answer 4

no
