“Phelps vs. Shark: Great Gold vs. Great White”
In an interview with Entertainment Weekly, Phelps said that he made sure about the safety aspects forthe race and only then agreed to go along. He also shared his fascination withsharkswhile talking about his great white opponent.
Discussing a few details about his race with the weekly, Phelpssaid "We raced 100meters. It’s hard when you have low visibility, and we did set up a lane line to make it looklike there was a pool, but it is challenging to see straight and see where you’re going in waterlike that. It was difficult, but it was a fun experience that I’ll never forget — and hopefullywill have that chance again."
The stunt by Phelps is the new showstopper for the "Shark Week". And however absurd it mayseem, the swimmer has definitely raised the barunder water.
