Michael Phelps has finally met his match... a great white shark.
To kick off the Discovery Channel’s annual Shark week, the most decorated Olympian of all time raced against a simulation of a great white shark in a 100-metre swim.
He also was given a special fin to make sure the playing field was even.
The 28-time Olympic medalist finished in 38.1 seconds, proving to be no match for the shark’s 36.1.
But like all true athletes, he has already asked for a rematch.
"Rematch? Next time..warmer water," Phelps tweeted.
