“It’s not about winning awards. It’s about capping a career,” Michael Phelps stressed to a reporter just before boarding a jet to fly across the big pond to attend the Olympics in London.
Meanwhile, Phelps fans – and sports enthusiasts - are excitedly marking their calendars to be sure not to miss the upcoming swim meets he'll compete in.
Will the remarkable athlete go out in a blaze of glory, or be left limping in the water behind younger more focused swimmers in his class?
One thing is for certain.
Phelps is about to hang up his trunks and bow out of the searing spotlight on the world stage.
Uh-huh.
According to the Gold medalist, the London Olympics will be his last.
Even so, a mantra looms on the horizon, sure to be heard far-and-wide in coming weeks.
Go! Michael! Go!
