No, 2nd place is actually pretty good. If the race held any significance, or it was the Olympics, I don't see how anyone could really expect much more out of michael phelps in sprints and considering he's been out for 6 months. If you consider that losing then your just really pessimistic aren't ya :\
dude get real he won 8 golds in beijing yes fantastic, but he lost this tiny race just get over it he lost so what michael phelps can also lose a race just like anyone else
you're not paying attention.. If it was anyone else who came in 2nd in a race. No biggy, they did pretty good, no one is going to say that they LOST. But since it's michael phelps, it's considered Losing? nooo. I disagree with ya..
oh im sorry did i made you cry?little boy cant stand to see his idol lose, seriously grow up a win is a win and a lost is a lost theres o ambiguity if you dont win you lose be it X swimmer or phelps
So someone getting a silver medal in the olympics would be considered losing?
I think what it comes down to is your pessimistic and I'm not so .. err.. emo, I think you have some personal problems dude. And he isn't my idol, lol, I'm my own idol
He got fifth?!

@FlipForever109 If you're talking about Phelps, he got 2nd place behind Fred Bousquet. He was in LANE 5.

@chrisfour4444 good eye. thats what sprinters do, and phelps only does that to finish fast. theres no way a swimmer can do it for for than 100m :)

Everyone is labeling this as "phelps loses" .. it's more like, "phelps doesn't come in first place"

coming in second place is losing
