Michael Phelps: Shares silver with two others
US swimming legend Michael Phelps, South Africa's Chad le Clos and Hungary's Laszlo Cseh all finished in 51.14 seconds for a joint silver at the 100 meters butterfly final. Singaporean swimmer Joseph Schooling finished the final in an Olympic record time of 50.39 seconds.
Schooling said Phelps "is the reason why I wanted to be a better swimmer."
"It's incredible," Phelps said on August 12 after losing to a swimmer 10 years his junior.
