i laughed so hard at the spinners part. just look at his face lmaooo he's so happy that they spin.
ValMil OG Fidget Spinner
thatguywho HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA that's exactly what I wanted to say HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
sweet, huh? and made in the USA, baby! (his ride, not the spinners) lol
@@Research0digo It’s really bulky though and has so many unnecessary features that’ll just drive up the price
All this man needs is to eat, sleep, win 1 gold, and have spinners.
He loves those spinners 😂 he's such a dork. His face when showing off his car makes me happy 😂❤️
He was so dorky, man he's grown where has time gone?
After he started smoking pot, he went up on the cool-o-meter.
"One gold medal is all I want" hehe he got his wish a "few"😂 times
😂
More chromosomes than I have
no one in History has more Olympic Gold Medals
He is definitely the best athlete in the world. No one can deny that. To do so would be just plain stupid.
Sarah V actually in his last olympics he said: "...and i won a few medals" hahahha
One can tell that he used to watch 'pimp my ride' a lot on MTV.

Didn't we all.
Two things. He said 'one gold medal is all I want' and now he has 23, no words. Second, those are the spinners Chase Kalisz, 400im rio silver medalist, was talking about, he used to train in Baltimore with Phelps, but at that age he was only 8 and he and his friends were fascinated about Michael's spinners. They were caught sneaking into his car to see them, and they run away when Michael saw them, and the next day he asked Phelps for autographs, good story
And Chase Kalisz won a gold medal this year at Tokyo! How amazing!
Faded af during this whole interview lol
I'm not saying Micheal Phelps isn't a phenomenal swimmer, he is my idol, but he does have made advantages. He is double jointed in 3 large swimming muscles, his family knows more about swim then most, and he swam at an "ivy league" club since age 7. But he does have a crazy work ethic.
Obviously. U do need the perfect body shape and the perfect conditions to be the best. And on top of that u need an incredible work ethic. Everybody has the potential to be great at sth. For me, its not swimming as my arms and my body in general is too short. By now, i cannt compete at higher levels lile 4 years ago f.e. But there are other things which o can do good. Afterall, he completely deserved it. And he made the right choice. If he would have pushed to become a male super model he would have failed most probably...
the being double jointed part just means he was born to be a swimmer. and you can have the most natural talent in anything but if u dont have a work ethic then u wont go anywhere with it
I know so many people who swim who are built and naturally talented and fail to live up to their expectations because they lack the will to work to succeed. The key to success is utilizing your surroundings (i.e. being on an amazing club) to your advantage in addition to putting forth 100% effort
So does usain bolt,his big figure did help him.
How do double joints help with swimming? I'm just curious. I can see it with artistic and rhythmic gymnastics, diving, and artistic swimming bc you need the flexibility.
teen michael phelps = jim halpert from the office
Bruh
hes a perfect mix of jim and ryan lmao
OMFG
tan lexuan OMG WTH😂😂😂
"I only want 1 gold medal"
How's 23 for you? 😂
He would be the gold medal himself
How's 28
@@vaishakkamath9434 he got 28 medals, 23 were gold
@@CarlsCozyCorner ik ik
Man this kid could be an Olympian
Darth Vader are u stupid he is already a olympian
Lee JIAWeiYT No he/she is not stupid, do you even know what being sarcastic means? Also don't call him/her stupid, if you can't even spell you, or are you just too lazy to write you?
Lee JIAWeiYT someone can't take a joke
Lee JIAWeiYT are you stupid, it was a joke. How old are you?
Lee Jia Wei r/wooosh
"all I want is just one gold medal"
Same
good for him he went for 1 gold and got far more than that
Naterman jr 22 more to be precise
Naterman jr i
23
I can tell this guy has a competitive drive that will make him an all time great. He's going to be a phenomenal Olympic Swimmer, mark my words.
"I hate to loose" 😂😂
Isabela Cameron apparently you've never swam.
Isabela Cameron and apparently you never learnt how to spell the word lose
So, did he end up getting that gold medal? Hopefully so. He seems like he works really hard.
godsmacks1000 he got 23 gold medals
godsmacks1000 he got 23 gold medals
godsmacks1000 well, he ended up being the greatest athlete of all time.....so yeah he sid get that medal
How do you not know him
Guys I think he meant in that specific Olympics
I think this kid will be a pretty good swimmer someday.
Johnny maybe... he might...
nah... i don't think he has the potential
Johnny don't you know he is already that Mikel Phillips he is swim champion with 20+ medals stupid kid
lonzo He is joking, he knows who Michael Phelps is ^^
lonzo English please 😑
haha he's so happy about his car XD
Only wanted one gold medal, comes back a few years later with 23😂👏🏼 gg Michael you will always be the best
I love how little and innocent they all are, not knowing what they're going to go on and accomplish.
"I just want one gold" says the most decorated Olympian of all time. It really shows that we all start somewhere.
Michael is right :) be positive and confident and anything is possible :)
Patrick Callow Lots of things are impossible. You can't swim three miles in ten seconds.
Jason Kroll the word itself [Impossible] says "I'm possible!"
I am swimming 500 freestyle on Thursday swim meet I can do it !!!
Its my last goal for swimming :) Accomplishing 500 freestyle :)
That's not true and that's not what MP said. He said lots of things are possible. That's not that same as anything is possible. You can't run a marathon in three seconds. That's impossible. Humans have limits. That said, the limits are probably not what we think they are, for most of us. We can do more than we probably think we can, but that's not the same thing as thinking you can do anything.
Aw I wasn't even born when this was filmed😂
Best Olympian EVER!!
Working hard pays off, complete respect to the young man! Ahhhh he loves his car!
wow i can tell he is going places!!! you never know, maybe he can go down as the best olympian of all time
"one gold medal is my goal" 😂😂😂 I couldn't help but laugh. little did he know
I am a swimmer and I swim 5 times a week I am only 10 years old I want to become an Olympic swimmer
Madison Price I'm 12 and I swim 11 hours a week and do 3 hours land training a week
Madison Price I'm 80 years old and I do 20 hours a week of training and 10 hours a week of land training. It's pretty simple
Keep your dreams alive :)
He's 80 years old; he doesn't have time to keep his dreams alive since he's going to be dead soon.
Eric He You know it!
Wow I started swimming when I was 7 and I thought I was never going to catch up with the other kids who started swimming since they were 2! He gives me hope ✨
Casually just says:
*”I hate to loose”*
He was driving with sandals. Thata dangerous young Michael...
looks like that christmas training payed off...
“1 gold medal is all I want”, cut forward to now, he has 23 gold medals!!!
i love this so inspirational especially in between heats at state championships for swimming. also what is the music it's so good
This kid got a lot of potential. Hopefully he gets his one gold medal
If he cant get one gold, he should be satisfied with 1 medal of any colour.
michael phelps the best swimer in the world
Temo Barajas was
@@Nedward7483 who is now
@@sandysun8520 maybe dressel
Ugh i love him and tom daley 💝😍😭
Amazing how a teenager can be so motivated!
He predicted fidget spinners
William Dillery they've been around since the early 90s
hahh i thought it to
he got "1 gold medal" one too many times 😂
I went swimming at the exact same pool Michael phelps did
Straight pothead lol
One of my living inspiration
Hope this kid gets a medal seems like a good kid hopefully he turns out okay
Yeah I reallllllly wonder
The world's greatest runner and swimmer already retired. Now what are we gonna do?
James Ambrocio appreciate them and appreciate the new talent. Fantastic up and comers
@@user-em4wh5ji3w yeah Katie ledecky and Caleb dressel r beasts
@@chloewu2760 David popovici is too, he might be the one who kinda stops usa’s win streak when Dressel retires
1 gold 🥇 turned into about 22 golds 😂😂💓
"All I want is one gold medal and what happens after that happens"
Well you go on to win 22 more of course
I live 30 minutes away from Michael
Which city?
I love Michael Phelps!!! 😊🏊 I love swimming!! I like being a positive person!!
When Michael Phelps Was Just a Teenager | Before They Were Superstars => By the time of this video's recording (2003), Michael Phelps has already gone to one Olympics (2000), he has already broken multiple world records...
the best and the greatest olympian of all time
This guy worked very very harddd
(4:15) I have the same poster in my house
Agustín Gómez q
1:06 ",I hate to lose", Thats very much me.
Phelps: "all i want is 1 gold medal"
God: "how's 23 lol"
I live in the area and I swim for a team called asc and our rivals are nbac which is Phelps team
His boys have so much to live up to! 😅
the 22-inch spinners look quite cool indeed
I still refuse to believe that he's retired. He's going to keep on getting six gold medals per Olympics, and he's not going to retire until the L.A. Olympics. And John Williams will still be alive, and he will compose for the opening ceremony. And it will be one of those rare perfect moments in history.
Having Phelps light the cauldron in LA 2028 will be great enough. He's got a wife and couple of kids now, so I doubt Phelps will comeback any time soon.
This aged well lol
michael....... we could have been friends.
You guys should do a new series called "After they were superstars"
he looks like a Vulcan. teenage spok 😂
The best old times
Yeah he's quite good isn't he. If he keeps swimming he might even win a few medals, or break a few records. Keep swimming kid, you'll get there.
Phelps ❤️
The things that he wished for that he thought wouldn't come true came true hope that could happen to me
He talks about how unlikely it is he'll break a world record😑😑
Emma W At that time he had already broken a couple world records.
idk why but i have a crush on phelps
Hello Darkness i definitely cant imagine
so do I.
Hes legit a mix of jim and ryan from the office!
what is the song?
what is the song at the beginning of this video?
That bit at 4:36 is absolutely bizarre haha
He became the Batman of water ❤
He seems more happy about those spinners than anything else 😂😂
the escalade lmao
Dude has freakishly long arms
Congrats and support from Shayna Jack & and whole Aussie swimming team
Phenomenal. 💖💖
Micheal: only 1 gold medal is all I want
The guy from Pawn stars : best I can do is 23
That car is sick
That explains Y he is so good b cuz he trains every single day
1:05 I legit thought he said “I need to lose”
"One gold medal is all I want" well you have almost 30 now so I hope our happy
i respect swimmers
swimming is hard
Michel Phelps invented figet spinners😂
If Jim from the Office went a different route in life
“Before they were superstars” ...lol at the time of his interview Michael Phelps the best swimmer in the world and breaking WRs left and right. He had surpassed Thorpe by this point.
Well he hadn't won an Olympic gold yet when this was made. A lot of swimming commentators felt he had a lot of talent but was "unproven". Phelps of course, silenced all doubt in Athens a year later.
i started training at 7, swim 17 hrs a week, 30km, i just need to grow a bit and il be really good
I hope he will swim in the 2024 Olympic Games
Ha was like a sloth haha love him
i'm glad to see you. Please me , to hear your voice. sorry my basket.♥️
Sometimes the body needs to rest because recovery time is also important
UNA LEYENDA
100 miles a week? Thats crazy.
You know, I'm not sure he's going to get that one gold medal
Hes just like all the other overhyped kids that you see videos about on youtube. Watch this kid will probably work the rest of his life in a fast food job flipping burgers struggling to pay off his student loans like the rest of us.
@@noonehere4332 for real, they'll literally give clout to anyone these days
5:41 the urban fidget spinner
I'm 8 and we do 5 days a week for 3 weeks

Can Michael Phelps do what Tom Daley done in diving ? or can Tom Daley do what Michael Phelps in swimming ?
