Phelps returned to China to advertise
Michael Phelps is back in China when he entered the Olympic history.
He does not swim this time, because he is in Beijing to make television commercials for the car manufacturerMazda, which would pay him more than one million dollars to be the spokesperson for the brand in China. This sponsorship is the most expensive for a foreign celebrity in the country.
Before leaving China, also shooting commercials and photo sessions, Phelps is expected to return toWater Cube, where he won a record 8 gold medals Olympic Games last August.
“Fortunately I have a few workouts before going home,” he said. “And once back home, it is really time to get back in the water and start training for the next four years.”
The athlete should resume training seriously before the end of the month and should also work for new sports to come in next summer at the world championships in Rome.
Customers should not expect to see Phelps in the pool at the hotel.
“The hotel pool is closed now, so I can not swim,” Phelps said.
Phelps said his return to China has generated much emotion.
“There are memories, flashbacks of the moment when I landed for the first time in Beijing and my journey to the Olympic Village,” he said. “Being on the same road today, reviews landmarks that I first saw it, all this takes me back to many memories.”
It was announced that Phelps will win a sum “seven figures” ; for its agreement withFAW Mazda.

China is the third largest global car market, but even here, sales have slowed during the global economic downturn.
“We are very confident in him (Phelps),” said M.Yu. “We all know that the car industry has had negative experiences with representatives of some brands. But there is no doubt that it will bring us success. … Currently in China, nobody’s reputation Phelps. “
