The American swimmers who compete in the Olympic Games drew attention to themselves outside the pools again, and this time also by singing. If they opened their mouths to the song Call Me Maybe (OI London 2012) four years ago, they recorded karaoke in the car at the OI Rio 2016. The famous Michael Phelps, the most successful Olympian of all time, who won 22 medals at the Olympic Games, including 18 gold ones, also tried his hand at singing!
From OI Rio 2016 the first fun clips are already coming. Athletes release stress before a performance in a number of ways. Listening to music is one of them. This kind of routine improves many people's mental readiness for competition.
American swimmers (Michael Phelps, Allison Schmitt, Ryan Lochte, Katie Ledecky, Nathan Adrian, Kevin Cordes) used this method just like four years ago in London at the 2016 Olympics. They shared the video with the world singing karaoke in the car while driving to the Olympic venue from the Olympic Village. Yes, they sang too track for Pokemon!
