On June 15, the New York Times published an article titled “Michael Phelps Is Not Going to the Olympics, but His Wake Is,” an examination of the legacy that the most decorated Olympian of all time has left behind in the world of swimming. Penned by sports reporter Karen Crouse, the piece is a glowing description of Phelps and the way he is helping the next generation of U.S. swimmers hoping to follow in his wake.
“Five years into retirement, Phelps has exchanged isolation for outreach, sprinkling instruction and advice like the pope blessing his flock with holy water,” reads the article. “As a mentor, he has found a way to pull this U.S. team along in his wake without getting wet.”
