12 years of being king in the 200m Butterfly. 26 times world champion. Whenever Phelps flaps his giant human fins - he got his own camera angle. That's respect for possibly the greatest olympic alive. No matter how he does in this games, the records will still be there. The gold medals will still be there. Time pass, young swimmers reach their prime. Yes, shortly after he will fade out of the competitive scene. But what a phenomenon. He truly inspired a generation.
Phelps is the youngest ever world record holder in this event back in 2000 olympics and he is here now, 12 years later, doing the same thing. His ability to maintain and keep up is just amazing.
Le Clos looked frantically to both his sides before he dug his head in the water - his usual style to the finish - to touch second in the first round. In the second, Biczo and Stjepanovic led in the first 100m, and Phelps fell out of the third after the first 50m but flew in the last 25m to un-chasable distance. See, I told you Stejepanovic has a little something something...he vill go farrre
