Our ESPN colleague Jerry Michele sat down with Phelps and calls him "serene 1", like a man who achieved everything he'd hoped to, which of course is exactly what he did. Here are some of their conversation.
You think [what] separates the people who are merely gifted from those like you who in this instance 2 won?
You know for me when I watch all those sport, you know when I watch, you know, when I watch Tiger, when I watch Federer and when I watch Nadal, the best athletes can compete under any circumstances. And you know, no matter what it is, no matter what the pressure, you can always overcome anything that is put in your way,you know when Jordan was sick, he still put up 60 points.
When you won the 100-butterfly by one, one hundredth of a second, what were you thinking about the role of fame, the role of luck?
After the race, Crack said to me, he goes, you have that angels with you or something, he goes, I have no idea what it is he goes. And you know I feel that, yeah, you know that there has to be luck in it, there has to be some luck involved, you know everything has been pretty much perfect, you know for me to be able to do what I just did.
You got eight gold medals now, where are they?
It's a great question. I saw them earlier, I think my agent has them, I put them all on this morning. It looked pretty cool. It was a pretty neat feeling.
You put them on just to see them or with a photo.
Just to see them.
You're 23. You've achieved everything you wanted to achieve, what are your goals now?
I wanna change sport of swimming. I look up to Michael Jordan, what he did in sport of basketball, how he completely changed it, this sport has changed my life in so many ways and you know, I just wanna other people to be able to be a part of that.
