Nobody else is even close to what Michael Phelps has accomplished in the Olympics

In Rio, Phelps amazed again, winning four gold medals and a silver, four years after retiring from the sport he had already dominated for so long. While he says he is retiring again, speculation has already begun that he will return for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo at age 35.
