    “We got the opportunity to sit down with the most decorated Olympian of all time, Mr. Michael Phelps. Michael reflected on the last year which has seen him rise to legendary status. We also spoke about his retirement plans – he may have hung up his swimsuit, but let’s just say he hasn’t quite given up sport…yet!”

    OK, so I’m not 100% sure this is French swimmer Sophie de Ronchi, but the face and ring and necklace fits, and the event could very well be when she (Sophie de Ronchi) won bronze in the women’s 200 IM at the Rijeka 2008 European Short Course Championships. See result list here
