'We're human beings. Nobody is perfect.' Tokyo2020
. Phelps is in Tokyo as a swimming analyst and general commentator with NBC, so we got to hear his thoughts firsthand when he sat down with host Mike Tirico yesterday.
"It broke my heart," Phelps said of Biles's ordeal. As Olympians,"we carry a lot of weight on our shoulders," he continued."And it's challenging, especially when we have the lights on us and all these expectations that are being thrown on top of us."The Olympics are overwhelming, Phelps continued, and athletes need someone they can trust, someone to listen to them without trying to"fix" them."We're human beings.
The swimmer and mental health advocate also expressed hope for a silver lining, because more and more people are now talking about mental health."I hope this is an eye-opening experience," Phelps said."I hope this is an opportunity for us to jump on board and to even blow this mental health thing even more wide open."
