Thank you. How you doing . It wont for a while. But seems pretty awesome being able to spend time with boomer and the family, seeing everybody before they took off this morning or yesterday. The best way to finish. You know that old expression ol me once name on you. Fool me twice. Four years ago almost to the day we sat in london and you said to me when i asked if you were to keep swimming you said done, done, done. Response here, done, done, done. And this time i mean it. I think you know, like we talked earlier in the year, i wanted to come back and finish my career how i wanted. And this was a cherry on top of the cake. I was thinking about that. You also told me when we got together you fell in love with swimming again. I wonder if you wont miss it morement after london you werent in love with swimming. I can understand. For me now its just being able to i think the biggest thing between now and london i was so much more emotional during these games, that showed at times. Thats the difference. Because i knew this was the last time. I knew this was the last race i ever had and the last olympics i had. And everything just really hit hard. And i guess some of it i guess some people at home saw where i mean, as soon as i walked into the warm down before that final night, the tears started coming filling up in my eyes and bob and i shared some of those emotional moments with one another. And you know, i was thinking my last warmup, my last warmdown, last time putting on a suit. My last cold tub, i did all of that. Now i question the question is this is last time . I have a feeling not. I dont know why. I have a feeling not. You always give me the straight but what about your personal goals now . What do you want to do as a 31yearold leaving swimming behind, with a long life ahead. This is a part of my life where i get to start this whole new chapter and continuing to build a family with nicole and continue to travel, continue to contribute to the sport of swimming. I want to try to not only in the u. S. But also change the drowning rate we have, something that is a goal of mine. Weve been able to teach thousands of kids. I want the numbers higher so. We have a full plate and full schedule of things and i still have those. Ryan lochte said youve been following on that, luckily he is okay. Before the incident with the robbery, he stop bid here, i want to show you what he said. I heard what he said. You look in the camera and say michael, ill see you in tokyo. Guarantee he will be there. Do you sflael. I think so. I really think so. So michael ill see you in tokyo. He might be there but i wont. Ill be there watching, cheering everybody on but i will not be in the pool competing. Last thing people wonder about the future of swimming without Michael Phelps. Would you look across there for a second s. The future in good hands with Katie Ledecky . Not only with katie but with the team that we have now. You know, kates doing her thing and shes breaking records every time she gets in the pool. Its been an honor for me to be part of the team with her and some of the younger guys that we have coming up in the sport that are going to take over and you know, i told a bunch of them i wont be far away if they need anything to reach out. Mine and a big sport for me. And i want to help these guys. Thank you for giving us the front row seat to a great run. Thank you. Congratulations. Hoda. Katie, while michael is still there. How about if you look at michael and tell us what impact has he had on swimming . He has been kind of your mentor. Yeah, probably a huge impact young swimmers that are on the team this year, we all looked up to him when we were 6 years old and now to be on the team i didnt mean it like that. Sorry. Its just i mean, i started watching him when i was 6 years old starting to get in the sport. To be on a team with him has been such an honor, not only to see his impact but out of the pool as well he has been a leader on this team and thats why we came away with these the headline for when you leave the olympics. Your headline was, Katie Ledecky had fun. Tell us how much fun did you have when you were at the Olympic Games . I had a ton of fun. I had my goals in the water but one of those goals was to have fun. I couldnt have asked for a better time with my teammates, see them succeed and the fun outside of the water as well. The best. She looked like she was smiling sometimes in the pool when you were swimming. Were you feeling that good when you were racing . Its fun to swim fast too. Im happy with how this week has gone. You talk about swimming fast. The 800 you crushed the competition and you beat your own world record by two seconds. After you said Something Like i just thought i would go for it. Makes it sound like you can drop a world record at will s. That the case these days . Its never easy to break a you know, every day getting in the pool and giving it my all. Its my last race of the meet and i wanted to remember it really well. A lot of hometown love, you are from maryland. The capitals were playing against the braves the nationals against the braves. And they decided to stop and watch you on the big screen. Did you were you able to see a clip of that . I saw a clip. What does that make you feel like knowing the hometown crowd is cheering. Support from maryland and the d. C. Area, i received so many messages from everybody back home. I cant wait to get back home and celebrate with them. Katie, michael over there, usa is awfully proud. Awfully proud. Congrats. Great Olympic Games. Michael, thank you, bud. Lets go back to savannah in new york city. Guys, so fun to see those swimmers.
