Michael Phelps vs. Great White Shark

With Shark Week rapidly approaching, the anticipated race which includes Phelps (+500) vs. a Great White Shark (-800) in a 100 meter race has already taken place and people have been sworn to secrecy on the results. That being said,,,,, does anyone have any of this so called "secret" information they would like to share with those of us here on Covers. I've read up on it quite a bit and have come up with my personal opinion, but I would like to see what others think. 

Top speed of an average great white = 25 mph

30 mph vertically when they hunt. GW wont be hunting.
All in on Mike.

Whites migrating distance speed is just over 2 mph.

100 meters is 328 feet Way beyond speed burst attack distance for Jaws.

He's gonna get his @ss whooped and he even said he knows it.  He's doing it for sh!ts and giggles which is really cool of him.  

how is this race supposed to be set up?  obviously, phelps can't come close to winning a real race and -800 is a gift.  but if there is some bullshit involved or the shark decides to just do some other sh*t in the middle of the race, then i guess you could lose.

That's why there's a line on the race. By GW shark studies Phelps wins this race or it's right to the wire.

I can't believe there's a line on this. I smell a 5000 word Scal write-up coming.

This a cut and paste quote from Phelps

Just watched it and.....

While he didn't beat the hammerhead, which swam the distance (50 meters) in 15.1 seconds,( vs Phelps 18.7 seconds) he was able to beat the reef shark by 0.2 seconds, swimming at 6 miles an hour.

Next was the Great White:

Phelps swam the 100 meters in 38.1 seconds, while the great white shark did the same length in 36.1 seconds, beating Phelps by two seconds.

At the start of the race, Phelps reached a speed of 8.8 miles an hour, swimming faster than the shark, but then the shark took the lead at the 25-meter mark, and Phelps was unable to overcome the creature's lead.

Remember you don't have to beat the shark,just the guy swimming next to you...........

Obviously, there are many things that animals can naturally do better than humans.  For example, elephant in vegetable eating contest in one hour.

Yes Ricky, I demand a rematch.  I want the Kangaroo!
