Michael Phelps - el pescado estupendo

Michael Phelps nació para ser el pescado estupendo, no simplemente un pescado estupendo.

Una combinación especial y mágica de muchos factores lo ha identificado como único, y ha marcado su sino como el mejor nadador atestiguado siempre en historia: cuerpo, mente, alma, genética, tradiciones de la familia, ambiente…

La constitución de Michael es grande para la natación: en los centímetros 190+, él es sobre todo torso, con un pecho grande y brazos largos; él es muy flexible a través de los hombros, cuerpo superior y especialmente en los tobillos y tiene las manos y pies grandes que actúan como las paletas.
