Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps is grabbing headlines yet again… this time for his death stare!
While mentally prepping himself for the men's 200m butterfly semifinals, Phelps was caught glaring at his rival Chad le Clos, who was seen shadowboxing in front of him. When asked about his opponent's pre-match rituals, Phelps told NBC, “Everyone has their own race strategy. If that's his, that's his.”

Phelps beat le Clos in the semifinals last night, but they will go face-to-face again in today's finals. Michael said, "I'm obviously excited for the finals. It's always fun getting in the water and racing him. He's tough; he finished on me last time really well.”
Back in 2012, le Clos beat Phelps by 0.05 seconds to win gold at the Olympic Games in London.
