However, in terms of sheer medal count, Phelps stands alone. His 23 gold medals outshine the combined career totals of most other Olympians, including many accomplished swimmers.
Apart from a few legends like Mark Spitz, Matt Biondi, and Jenny Thompson, no swimmer has come close to matching Phelps’ historic gold medal haul.
Beyond his accomplishments in the pool, Phelps has earned the admiration and affection of fans around the world.
His Instagram feed is filled with comments from devoted followers, many of whom refer to him as their “idol” and “legend.” Some even openly express their infatuation with the athlete, admitting that they have a “crush” on him or are “obsessed” with him.
