Micheal Phelps is one of the best swimmers in
the world. He was born on June 30, 1985, in Baltimore, Maryland.
He competed in his first Olympic Games when he
was 15, as part of the U.S. men’s swim team. He won a total of 28 medals (23
gold, 3 silver and 2 bronze) and setting the record for the most won medals by
any Olympic athlete.
He won one silver and five
gold medals, becoming the oldest individual gold medalist in Olympic
swimming history, as well as the first swimmer to win four consecutive golds in
the same event, the 200-meter individual medley.
Great, Micheal Phelps!!! You are
incredible but we have our “Italian Phelps”, you know? He is Gregorio Paltrineri! He
won a gold medal at Rio 2016.
Gregorio Paltrinieri is a World
Champion born in Carpi in 1994 and his parents are Lorraine and Luca Paltrinieri.
He is specialized in distance freestyle events – in 2013 Paltrinieri broke the
Italian Record in the 1500m freestyle. Standing 6’3″ Paltrinieri began swimming
at a very young age, and specialized in the breaststroke until he was 12 years
old, but then he shifted his focus to distance freestyle. Although his best
events are the 800 and 1500m freestyles, he also swam the 200 freestyle on
medal-winning relays.
