American swimming icon Michael Phelps arrived in Sydney on Tuesday ahead of this week’s World Business Forum.
The American star, who is the most decorated Olympian of all time, was headlining the event at the Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre.
He was joined by thought leaders from all around the world, including US scholar Amy Edmondson and Guy Kawasaki, an American marketing specialist.
Phelps was seen arriving for the two-day talks on Tuesday, and appears to have grown his hair out long, with the swimming legend, who is also an avid golfer, pulling his locks back into a bun.
Remembered by many for sporting a skin-tight pair of neoprene swimming shorts, today the 40-year-old was seen sporting a suave white patterned suit, complete with a pair of navy trousers and a jacket, as he walked into the convention centre for the talks.
It is unclear at present what topics he covered during the meeting, but some took to social media to heap praise on the US athlete.

‘Session four at the World Business Forum in Sydney, listening to Michael Phelps! Dead set legend,’ one wrote on X.
Known as the flying fish, the Baltimore-born swimmer retired following the 2016 Olympic Games - having made a sensational comeback after initially hanging up his goggles following London 2012.
Following his swimming career, he would go on to set up the Michael Phelps Foundation, which looks to support and empower young people to feel confident and safe in the pool.
