It will be interesting to see what his decision will be.

He's always been a major player in the swimming arena.

That's a great nickname! I like it.

I don't really follow swimming, but there's always somebody retiring and somebody else coming up behind them that will do well. That's the way sport is a lot of the time.

You'd think he would go for another 2 Olympics, then retire.

Maybe he had other reasons besides "oh, I'm not motivated to win anymore."
