Who won, Michael Phelps or the Great White?
Discovery is back for another week of non-stop sharks during Shark Week!
Last night, Michael Phelps took on his greatest challenge ever in a Shark Week showdown during Discovery Channel’s Shark Week!Could the fastest swimmer alive outpace a great white? Well…no.
Phelps, who holds the record for most Olympic medals and most gold medals, may be the fastest human in a pool but he’s no match for the most feared fish in the ocean. To Phelps’ credit, it was remarkably close. The great white beat Phelps by just a couple of seconds during a simulated race which put Michael in the extremely cold waters in South America…
It was just #2seconds. Here’s how @MichaelPhelps came that close to beating a great white shark. #PhelpsVsShark #SharkWeek pic.twitter.com/PU1pvWqtpl
