Having finished his
record-setting performance at the Summer Olympic Games in London,
Micheal Phelps began swimming back to his home in Baltimore. Phelps
left the Olympic village early Sunday morning, tucked his passport
and a Subway Italian BMT “for later” into his trunks, and dived
into the Thames with his suitcase in one hand. When asked, he noted
that the the four gold and two silver medals around his neck would
make the swim home more difficult, but “It's worth it, I guess.”
Bob Bowman, Phelps' long-time coach spoke to the swimmer shortly
before he entered the water. “Right out of the Thames,” Bowman
said, “Right again at the English Channel, bear left at Greenland,”
as Phelps jotted notes on the palm of his hand with a marker. Bowman
said that the most decorated athlete in Olympic history would take
his time swimming home and is expected to arrive in Baltimore's Inner
Harbor a little before dinner time tomorrow.
