Michael Phelps Stares Down Chad Le Clos Giving His Best #PhelpsFace At Rio 2016 Olympics

Nineteen-time Olympic Gold Medalist Michael Phelps gave a whole new meaning to the term “Game Face” on Monday night while getting ready to compete in the men’s 200 meter butterfly semifinals event in Rio. Phelps is not a fan of pre-game dancing and showed his distaste by giving his competitor South African swimmer Chad Le Clos his best bank face. The hashtag #PhelpsFace quickly began trending on social media. #Phelpsface memes followed soon after.

Apparently, dancing before his races works for Le Clos – he ended up taking gold in the event while Phelps finished second, settling for silver at the London 2012 Olympics.
