Michael Phelps' game face will give you goosebumps
Michael Phelps is sick of your sh*t, Chad le Clos.
The long-time rivalry between the swimmers continued Monday at the 2016 Summer Olympics in the men's 200-meter butterfly. Before Phelps and le Clos splashed it out in the pool, the pair sat in the ready room and had very different preparation approaches.
Phelps sat steely-eyed under a jacket hood with headphones firmly pushed to his ears, while le Clos playfully bounced in front of him, boxing the air.
