Phelps gets Silver in Men 200 Butterfly.
He was in the lead till the very last seconds. I think what happened was that Phelps was at the lowest speed and had reached his peak speed earlier, and tried to touch the finish pad with his last stroke/push rather than doing another stroke and getting some speed, while the South African swimmer had reached his peak speed just at the right time, in the final seconds, and his last stroke won him.
Credit to the SA swimmer though. Good contest.
Was not about the speed. Phelps should have taken another stroke but he decided to glide and this mistake allowed Le Clos to touch earlier.
