Phelps requires “rimic” against shark (Video)

In fact, 32-year-old tried his speed on virtual shark versions, based on a computer simulation, although it was expected that the winner of the 28 Olympic medals would enter a swimming cage and compete with real sharks.

The retired swimmer was well prepared for the event that was met with great enthusiasm and broadcast on television.

However, Phelps lost in the main race against the white shark, leaving only two seconds behind.

But he seems not to give up, because he's thinking about competing with the white shark again.

“Rimech? Next time... in the warmest water”, the swimmer wrote on Twitter.

Once upon a time, the American was slower than the sea shark. However, he may rejoice that in the 50 - foot [50 m] race, he proved victorious over a shark known as Carcharhinus melanopteru.
