Michael Phelps shut-up his Serbian rival today. Milorad Cavic made comments before the race mocking Phelps' Speedo LZR Racer Suit, suggesting that it is inferior in competition. Well, Phelps suggested otherwise by swimming the 100 butterfly in record breaking time in 49.82 seconds, Cavic in 49.95. Both men went under the record of 50.01 seconds Cavic established on Friday as well as the vaunted 50-second barrier.
The mini-fued ended when Phelps touched the wall and looked up to see the final times on the scoreboard. The firey American defiantly punched the water with both hands, then spit water through his teeth and slapped his own chest in much the same way Cavic often slaps his own before races. After he put up one finger and saluted his mother and sister in the stands, Phelps then glided from lane five past Cavic in lane four and slapped hands with Rafael Munoz, the Spaniard who won the bronze medal swimming in lane three.
