We’ll never see another Phelps, says coach

AFP

AFP, RIO DE JANEIRO: Michael Phelps is said to have surpassed the deeds of Leonidas of Rhodes at the ancient Olympics and the American’s coach believes we will never see his likes again.
“Absolutely not, I’m not even looking,” Bob Bowman said after Saturday’s final swimming races which left Phelps with 23 Olympic gold medals.
“He’s too special. It’s not even once in a generation — it may be once in 10 generations that someone like Michael comes along.  “He just had so many things going for him: he had the physical skills, the mental outlook, the family that supported swimming. He has an emotional ability to get up for big races and actually perform better under pressure.”
“I don’t think you’re going to see another Michael,” added Bowman. “But you’re going to be seeing a lot of other wonderful people. You’re going to be seeing Katie Ledeckys and Ryan Murphys, and hopefully I’ll find some of those.”
“It definitely was a lot more emotional than I was in 2012,” said the 31-year-old. 
“I think that’s a good thing. Being able to look back at my career and say we’ve been able to accomplish everything we wanted. I couldn’t be happier with how things ended.”
“I might let him take one for ‘show and tell’,” he laughed.
