Phelps 'an incredible competitor'

The former team-mate of Michael Phelps, Peter Vanderkaay, believes the most successful swimmer of all time has the strength and mentality to continue competing until Tokyo 2020.

Vanderkaay was a part of the men's 4 x 200 metres freestyle relay team that won gold at the Athens Olympics in 2004.

Speaking to Sport Today's John Bennett, Vanderkaay says the reasons for Phelps' dominance is that he just "goes out and thinks he can win".
