It's a good sign for the most decorated Olympian ever. It means at least there's a chance Phelps might compete in Rio in 2016, though he hasn't confirmed it — claiming he just wants keep his options open.  

 Since the 2012 Olympic Games, Phelps has stopped swimming and focused on other sports.

Like golf. He's openly talked about his love for the sport. He appeared on The Golf Channel's "The Haney Project" to hone is game. And he's been posting plenty of pics of himself on the course.



He also tried his hand at football. Here's a photo he posted from a Baltimore Ravens practice. 

And also baseball — but clearly his swing isn't as good as his stroke. 

Phelps has won a record 18 gold medals and still has plenty of time to get back into shape before the 2016 games.
