When you actually thought they somehow would have managed to make this a race between an actual shark. Man I'm stupid😂 Still interesting experiment

[@nicbentulan]

you were stupid. i'm still stupid because i still have this kinda feeling that there's a way to somehow do it.

[@baloog8]

There is. Tie a fake seal at the end of a motor boat. It's worked before. Phelps will need to be in a mesh wire fence or have other deterrents

[@roadhouse6999]

@@baloog8 People swim with great whites all the time. They're very powerful, but not aggressive.

The CGI shark was swimming casually with minimal effort and it still won.

[@lunaticleone8534]

Right lmao

[@farhadniaz732]

Lol

[@mrj4674]

Yeah he is shark 🦈 no comparison with humans

[@mpat918]

Come on people, you can't put a human and a shark side by side in the ocean, otherwise the shark would eat Michael and besides sharks don't normally swim in a straight line. I thought this was a unique idea and I appreciate the hard work put in by Discovery channel crew.

[@twistedbus344]

They could have put the shark and Phelps in a contain area, and have class in between Phelps and the shark, and the problem is not they didn't use a real shark, but they acted like it was going to be a real shark, right up until the race.

[@mpat918]

Lord Kief Michael said in an interview that he didn't race an actual shark so everyone already knew it. And the glass won't do any good because the shark still wouldn't swim in a straight line.

[@mpat918]

CircumcisionIsChildAbuse first of all, mind your language. Second, they did that so Michael would have a chance against a shark. Everyone knows humans can't swim as fast as a shark.

[@Tinohadji]

Could have easily made him swim alongside dolphins. They just knew it was all a marketing stunt. Even with the 'fin' phelps would of got dropped ridiculously easily.

[@julianreade9192]

shutup

[@Serb248]

Is this supposed to be a joke? Michael Phelps can swim with a maximum speed of 7.6 km/h, the great white shark can swim with a maximum speed of 56 km/h ...

[@9395gb]

Since men want to compete in women's sports, I'm open to this.

[@ToneX-hj6ki]

Total joke you see all those jump cuts total CGI.

Shark eats swimmer before swimming.

bubblea Hes even better than u Im a swimmer. He never gets eaten DUH!!!!!!!!!

[@yoannbirrien3048]

Shark dont eat human if he see the human... some people was eat because on surf or on a other think they look like turtles or sea lion

[@DOUGHER69]

This was still my favorite Shark week moment

[@alessandrof283]

There's much more difference. The Great White Shark while hunting can reach a speed of almost 70 km/h

[@trishlee6529]

hello no, that’s unbelievable bro, faster than a tiger hunting on the ground? nahhhhhhh i don’t think so.

[@itzshft]

@@trishlee6529 It's about the same speed as an average tiger. The fastest tigers are a little faster though. These things are built for the ocean.

[@trishlee6529]

@@itzshft i just google and it said around 50kmh not 70 kmh, still very impressive. That’s very fast.

[@ChainsawMike]

That shark is high as a fucking kite.

[@lucarossi8913]

Lool the shark would of gotten way faster then 36 seconds in real life

[@brcshephard]

It’s taken from an average of real sharks

[@wanabubakar2181]

Phelps fastest man should be competing with fastest shark on planet. Then it is fair

[@Snakexkiller1]

Bruh the fastest shark in the planet goes at about 46miles(72km)per hour while michael swam the fastest at 6miles(10km) it wouldn't even be anywhere close

[@Snakexkiller1]

Oh and btw this shark in real life would still be more than 3times faster than michael

[@guyhaskins3829]

Okay no that would not be fair, no man can out swim even the average swimming shark this shark was just coasting most of the way, and did you not see that huge speed burst it did, if it did that the whole way it would have left him in the dust.

[@LauleyPops]

Actually a little over 7x micheals speed 😱😱
