The US athlete Phelps, though he had a monofin to even things up, swam the stretch of an open ocean in South Africa in 38.1 seconds to the shark's 36.1, reports BBC. But Phelps and the shark did not actually swim next to each other - it was a computer simulation.

However, Michael Phelps has tweeted asking for a rematch.
