Cameras catch fellow Olympian bowing to swim god Michael Phelps
Watch Next

Team USA swimmer Michael Phelps is hands-down the greatest swimmer of all time. With more than two dozen Olympic medals under his belt, it's no surprise that other swimmers would view Phelps as a swim god, too.

As Phelps walked out from the lockers to the deck on Wednesday, Great Britain swimmer Dan Wallace bowed down and praised Phelps as his back was turned.

Of course, Wallace could have been mocking Phelps' fame; the Scottish swimmer was arrested and booted from the University of Florida after he peed on a police car.

Either way, Phelps deserves all the praise, even if it's sarcastic.
