Michael Phelps Says World Records Unlikely at Tokyo Olympics

News 18  

Michael Phelps said the disruption caused by the COVID-19 pandemic means it is unlikely any swimming world records will fall when the postponed Olympic Games are held in Tokyo next year. They are swimming like they should be, they are lifting,” said Phelps, who set 39 world records during his career. “With all these pools being shut down, somebody would have to be damn near perfect for the rest of the preparation to have that chance.” Phelps, a longtime champion of mental health issues who has partnered with toothpaste brand Colgate to highlight young people making a positive impact in the world, said the emotional challenges of competing will be daunting. Phelps, who has in the past been critical of the United States Olympic Committee, said the organization was doing more to help athletes suffering with mental health problems but there was room for improvement.
