I hope Michael Phelps doesn’t end up like swimmer Ian Thorpe as he gains weight
You all saw what happened to Ian Thorpe right? He had the best body while he was in shape as a swimmer. I had a big crush on him and I couldn’t tell you how much… LOL! But as the years went on (I mean don’t get me wrong – everybody gains a little weight as they get older) he gained so much weight and it showed that he just just burned out. When you train to be fit day-in-and-day-out, there will come a time when you will say – - Fudge it!! I think that’s what happened to him.
Now, Michael Phelps – who is still competing, is getting out of shape. Recently, he said after a swimming competition in Stockholm:
“I know I’m not in the best shape and I should be in better shape,” Phelps said. “I didn’t hit my first wall right, so it’s kind of disappointing but I’m happy overall.”
We sure hope he doesn’t end up like this:
