The world of swimming is incomplete without stalwarts like Michael Phelps. With a total of 28 Olympic medals, the former American competitive swimmer is the most decorated Olympian of all time. He won a whopping eight medals (six golds and two bronzes) at the first ever Olympics (2004 Summer Olympics; Athens) he took part in.
Despite his numerous achievements, he was not bestowed the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the highest civilian honor in the United States of America, which caused quite a bit of outcry on social media platforms this year.
