Everyone has been talking about Michael Phelps mean mug, but the Olympic athlete is NOT playing at the Olympic Games Rio 2016 when it comes to swimming, Phelps is DOMINATING!!!
Get the latest on Michael Phelps who just won his 20th Gold Metal tonight…
CelebNSports247.com has the latest news on Michael Phelps, who won a gold medal on Tuesday night, which makes it his 20th Olympic gold.
Congrats Phelps, you F’n ROCK!
The NY Times reports:
After winning the 200-meter butterfly — his signature event — for the third time, Phelps stood triumphant in the pool, gesturing with bravado. He was stone-faced and silent, but his motions loudly said, “I’ll take all comers.”
To top it off, he added his 21st gold medal soon after, anchoring the 4×200 freestyle relay. Conor Dwyer, Townley Haas and Ryan Lochte swam the first three legs.
Phelps’s celebration after the 200 butterfly was loaded with meaning. This was the event in which Phelps endured one of the most painful defeats of his career: At the 2012 London Games, Chad le Clos of South Africa edged him by five-hundredths of a second.
Le Clos was in the lane next to Phelps on Tuesday night, one of five swimmers in the race who had at one time or another claimed Phelps as their childhood hero.
Phelps said recently with a laugh:
“Chad liked me, and then he didn’t like me…He said I was his hero, and then he was calling me out.”
Phelps was the magnet that pulled the next generation into the sport, but at the Olympic Aquatics Stadium on Tuesday night he repelled their challenge. Phelps clocked a time of 1 minute 53.36 seconds.
