The intimidating wingspan of Michael Phelps shows why he’s one of a kind
Michael Phelps, the Olympic gold medallist in swimming, was definitely born for the sport he champions. His arms seem to stretch for miles. Michael claims: “swimming is what I do on a daily basis. It makes me feel calm. It’s my home.”
His arm span is 6’7″, which is three inches longer than his height. From the start, Michael had a distinct advantage. It’s a good thing he realized his purpose was to swim. Michael is arguably one of the greatest Olympians since, for the sheer numbers of medals he claimed, he wins hands down.
