Michael Phelps races a great white shark (sort of)

Olympic great Michael Phelps races a 'great white shark' on Sunday as part of . The shark was in-fact a computer simulation rather than a actual great white but its swim speed was calculated using data collected from the real thing. Phelps finished the 100m course in 38 seconds, two second slower than the 'shark'

The shark was later disqualified after finding it took performance enhancing drugs :(

Wow thanks for reassuring us that we cannot out swim the shark. Appreciate it

That's clearly a computer generated Michael Phelps

[localblackman]

I hate that I can't report this as click bait because of the accuracy of the title

" a simulation of a real shark"

Translation: we made this fake shark slower in hopes that Phelps could win for that big check.

Next race is gonna be between shark & cheetah on land

[elsainactive]

How is he only 2 seconds behind?? He swims about 6mph and great white shark swims at 25-35mph

Plot twist-- the real shark EATS phelps half way through the race

The only place Phelps can beat a shark is at a sushi restaurant.

[joshwomble]

Michael Phelps can swim at about 6 miles per hour, and guess how fast a great white shark can swim?


35. Screw you discovery channel.

Shark to Phelps: : Oh, you think water is your ally. But you merely adopted the water; I was born in it, moulded by it.

[TwixProHD]
