Michael Phelps ’ Olympic legacy is defined by his unmatched dominance in the pool, with a record 28 medals that cemented his place in sporting history. Yet behind the glory lies a side of the champion few expect; One marked by surprising indifference toward anything less than gold. That attitude surfaced during a light-hearted exchange with Chandler Parsons, where a casual remark revealed just how little those other medals meant to him.
On a previous episode of Run It Back about nine months ago, Parsons had a brief conversation with the Flying Fish Michael Phelps. And, on October 10, the channel brought back a hilarious moment from the conversation on Instagram. In the video, Phelps admitted that he would correct people if anyone claimed that he had fewer than 23 gold medals. Bu
