The 31-year-old swimmer won a record breaking 23rd Olympic gold medal at the 2016 Rio Summer Olympics.

"Between now and London, I was so much more emotional during these Games, I think that showed at times on camera," he added. "That's the difference. Because I knew this was the last time. I knew this was the last race that I ever had, the last Olympics that I ever had. And everything just really hit hard."
