Michael Phelps Reacts to Caitlin Clark Using Olympic Legend as Phone Background

Joseph Zucker

Swimming legend Michael Phelps was thrilled to discover he's the cellphone wallpaper for Iowa star Caitlin Clark.

Clark showed off her screensaver in a video posted by the NCAA's Women's March Madness account. Phelps replied that he's "Honored!!!"

It's not hard to see why Clark would draw inspiration from the 23-time Olympic gold medalist. He's not just the most dominant swimmer of all time but one of the most decorated athletes ever, period.

Phelps' competitiveness is the stuff of legend as well. It was clearly evident when he had his mind on the pool and his thoughts were on nothing else but vanquishing his foes.

It probably won't be long before Clark is gracing the cellphones of numerous younger athletes in the same way Phelps is a source of motivation for her.
