Michael Phelps has finally met his match in the water: a 鈥済reat white shark.鈥�

The Olympic champion swimmer was bested Sunday night in the Discovery Channel鈥檚 Shark Week special 鈥淧helps vs. Shark: Great Gold vs. Great White.鈥�

But Phelps didn鈥檛 swim with a real shark. He competed in the ocean against a computer-simulated fish based on data on the swimming speed of sharks.

Phelps was outfitted with a wetsuit and a monofin to mimic a shark鈥檚 powerful tail. He finished the 100 metre race in 38 seconds, two seconds slower than the simulated shark.

Phelps tweeted Sunday that he鈥檇 like a rematch, but in warmer water.
