SINGAPORE - The greatest Olympian of all time has thrown his weight behind Singapore's only Olympic champion Joseph Schooling in his quest to retain the 100m butterfly gold at the Tokyo 2020 Olympics.
Michael Phelps, who has amassed 28 Olympic medals, 23 of them gold, told The Straits Times at the sidelines of a conference on Friday (May 17): "As long as Jo prepares himself as best as he can, he is going to be fine. He's talented enough, he's got enough speed, he's got a great kick, he's a great competitor."
