Michael Phelps Defends His Race Against A Simulated ‘Shark’ (Video)

Michael Phelps took questions from fans during a Facebook Live session yesterday, and he was asked about his race against a CGI shark to kick off Shark Week on Discovery.

Phelps said that they were always up-front about the fact that it wasn’t a real shark, which isn’t the way most people remember it.  In the video below, he talks about the race around 12 minutes in, and again around 17:40.
