The strongest "hyperactive child" in Olympic history was born yesterday! American star Michael Phelps won gold in the 400-meter medley relay, achieving his pre-set goal of "eight golds" and surpassing the seven-gold record set by "the Monster" Mark Spitz 36 years ago. When it comes to the ability to snatch gold medals, no one can outdo Phelps.
In a traditional Chinese society where "all occupations are base, only studying is exalted," Phelps, who had ADHD since childhood, would definitely not be considered a "good student" in the eyes of most teachers due to his inability to concentrate on studies, making his development uncertain. Moreover, Phelps' parents divorced when he was seven, and the only person who could guide him in the right direction was his mother, Debbie, who raised him single-handedly. The bond between mother and son is particularly strong.
Faced with teachers' complaints about young Phelps' hyperactivity, Debbie not only communicated carefully but also chose swimming, a sport her son was interested in, to help him channel his excess energy. As a result, not only did Phelps become "quieter," but he was also able to stop taking ADHD medication two years after starting the sport. Although this was Debbie's own initiative, swimming indeed cured Phelps' hyperactivity. Or rather, it used that excess energy to win gold medals.
Phelps is not only active but also fiercely competitive. As a child, he once threw away a competitor's goggles just because he lost. He never repeated this action, not just because of his coach's admonitions, but also because he never lost to his peers again. This spirit has made him an unstoppable "swimming machine" in the world of swimming since his debut at the Sydney Olympics. Yesterday marked his 48th medal in the Olympics, World Championships, and Pan American Games, including his 40th gold, along with six silvers and two bronzes.
Despite his boundless energy, Phelps also needs ample sleep to recharge. His biggest hobbies are "sleeping" and "sleeping in," reportedly needing an extra half-hour in bed every day. However, after sufficient sleep, Phelps becomes the "Energizer Bunny" during training, undergoing five hours of daily water training, which has honed his fish-like agility.
Standing at 193 cm tall with arms that reach his knees, a trait comparable to Liu Bei, the Emperor of Shu Han in the Three Kingdoms, Phelps' arm span exceeds two meters, making it his greatest asset in the water. Additionally, his lung capacity is four times that of an average person. Even more astonishing is that Phelps is only 23 years old and can still compete in the London Olympics four years from now. With 14 Olympic gold medals already to his name, a record unmatched by any before him, if he further increases his tally to over 20 golds in the future, he may truly set an insurmountable "Phelps Barrier."
