Wow!Cielo like commemoration…it looks Phelps lifted a ton from his shoulders.No one is gonna hold him back now…

Awesome facility! Would like to see this as a Grand Prix stop.
It’s 3 am in Kazan as Phelps drops this monster 1:52 in the 200 fly.

Phelps is our lord and savior! There should be a new religion dedicated just for Phelp’s second coming!
just build him a monument already!!!!!!!

Never seen Phelps so excited since his 2009 victory over Cavic.
