Swimming fans won't get the opportunity to watch Michael Phelps compete during the Tokyo Olympics, but the all-time great will still be a featured part of NBC's broadcasts.
On Monday, NBC announced Phelps will join its coverage of the Games as a primetime correspondent. He will also be in the booth alongside Dan Hicks and Rowdy Gaines for some of the swimming competitions.
It's impossible to find someone with more expertise about what it takes to succeed at the Olympic level than Phelps.
The 36-year-old has the record for the most total Olympic medals with 28 and gold medals with 23 and competed in five Games in all from 2000 through 2016.
