Michael Phelps swims against a great white shark

[Corzhens]

With all the hype that Discovery Channel was waging, the public was very disappointed. For a distance of 100 meters, the race is between Olympic medalist Michael Phelps and a great white shark. But it turned out that the shark was just computer-generated which made Phelps race against a digital simulation. The event was for the campaign on the welfare of marine animals.

Phelps is probably one of the best olympic swimmer of all time. I've heard from people however he isn't a very nice person to talk to.

I was a bit disappointed as well when I saw he wouldn't actually be racing a real shark - or at least a real shark's time.

No way in the world I would do that.
