Question: is phelps competing in 2020?
Answer: Michael Phelps has repeated — over and over and over again — that he will not unretire (for a second time) for a 2020 Olympic bid. By 2024, Phelps will be 39 years old. Still possible for a comeback, given one American swimmer competed in the Olympics in their 40s — Dara Torres in 2008, earning three silver medals.
