Truly remarkable 200 FLY and over 30!
Congrats to Tom Shields an ex Mission Viejo Nadadores!! I wish NBC would interview him too along with Phelps! Kinda think his 2nd place finish was a bit over shadowed by Phelps!! Congrats to both of them!! If Phelps retired Shields would be getting all the attention!
You must be a big fan of his..haha.
Tom Shields was awesome, and helped Michael Phelps perform better! Loved watching this race…
I guess I’m half hoarse from yelling “Come on Michael Come on Michael Come on Michael repeat———– !
Congratulations Michael Phelps you are the best
Yeah for Tom Shields!!!
Happy for him, but 1’54 is not really good for him… Hope he can still go 1’52 for rio…
Tapered he will be 1:52
Michael is so amazing!!! Can’t wait for Rio!!!!!
Was there ever any doubt? The dude is a machine!
