So apparently, Michael Phelps threw a little shade at Chad le Clos ahead of the Men’s 200m butterfly on Monday.

But le Clos started it by, perhaps deliberately, shadow boxing in front of Phelps in the pre-race room.

The rivalry between the two began when le Clos beat Phelps at this very same event in 2012.

Let’s take a closer look at the ‘death stare’.

It didn’t take long for the situation to turn into a meme.

 

 

But it was Hungarian Tamás Kenderesi who took the fastest time in 1:54.73.

Phelps came in second completed the race in 1.54.12 while le Clos was third at 1.55.19.
