But lol, as if Phelps would lose.
This is Elliotte Friedman, a sportscaster who was providing commentary for CBC's coverage of the men's 200 individual medley at the Olympics.
That's the event where Michael Phelps once again dominated for Team USA. But, for Canadians watching CBC, that came as a surprise because Friedman got a bit confused.

The poor guy was so sure that Ryan Lochte was in the lead after the final turn, not Phelps, Like, so sure.

And he got very excited that Lochte was about to beat Phelps, the winningest swimmer in history.
I guess their swim caps look similar?
