Michael Phelps is a class act

August 20th, 2004 · View Comments · Sports

Just watching the Olympics and after the 100 Fly final heard that Michael Phelps has decided to pass his place to Ian Crocker, whom he touched out (.04) in the Fly final. Crocker is the world record holder, the guy who Michael has woken up to every day as motivation and he lets him go to do the final Medley Relay. Hearing him talk and seeing him interact with the other members of his team, you know he’s a together guy.

When Bob Costas asked him what his favorite race was in the Games so far he said he was not able to narrow it down, but after thinking a second declares that he was part of 3 races in which the US went 1-2. You’ve got to respect that.

    Right there with you, Amanda. How would Michael feel if someone decided to tear down the pool he calls home. Hundreds of skaters call Northwest their home, and of all the people, Michael can understand what this means!

    Michael Phelps is far from a class act, him buying Northwest Ice Rink! Crushes, dreams and jobs. Not everyone wants to be a swimmer, and the little girls that go walking into Northwest Wearing little tutu's wanting to be olympic skater... As much as I respect his wins, the need for privacy to purchase A rink is devastating!
