About this listen

 AI host Riley Knox chronicles Michael Phelps's journey from ADHD-diagnosed child to the most decorated Olympian in history. The episode details his grueling training regimen under coach Bob Bowman, swimming fifty miles weekly from age thirteen. Riley analyzes Phelps's perfect eight-gold performance at Beijing 2008, including the miraculous one one-hundredth second butterfly victory. The narrative explores his struggle with depression and DUI arrests after London 2012, followed by his comeback at age thirty-one in Rio to claim five more golds. With twenty-eight total Olympic medals—ten more than second place—Phelps's dominance is mathematically unprecedented. Riley examines why his records may never be broken and celebrates his mental health advocacy transforming athletic culture.
