OH SNAP — Michael Phelps loses for the first time in nearly four years (and sees his world record stolen), to German Paul Biedermann, at the FINA World Championships in Rome. Phelps scored the silver. (Photos: Pacific Coast News)
We can't rely on mainstream media to tell our stories. That's why we don't lock Queerty articles behind a paywall. Will you support our mission with a contribution today?
Let’s not forget the guy who beat him was wearing the controversial suit that has helped so many records fall. Phelps never has worn the suit and will not.
@joe: but Biedermann also had a faster stroke rate. and i didn’t hear Phelps complaining when he set the world record wearing a LZR suit, the most advanced available at Beijing.
Oh Snap!! I 4got!! I know some queen is gonna post a hissy fit asking WHY>? Google “michael phelps pictures” and check out the ones with his arms outstretched in the black and gray body suit…….It “fits” him really well……..
I wanna see Michael’s Olympics and block “M” tats that you can only see in practice Speedos. And where was Queerty’s reportage of Ricky Berens’ bareass when his hi-tech suit split. Agree with Chuck – bring back the Speedos!

But he just came back today and set another world record.

I’m disappointed that you didn’t post a shot of him from behind.
For a gay site, there’s very few shots of men’s asses. What gives?

I wonder if they meant humbling defeat?

@ThatguyFromBoston: There’s very few shots of mens asses, period. Queerty is working with what they are given.

I think that Michael Phelps has a “big problem” with those skin tight suits………………

It’s because he wore that stupid suit! They should be outlawed and only Speedo type suits to be worn.

@Alex Sarmiento: I’ve actually heard that from many different sources.

Yeah, lurch is a jerk. But it’s all downhill from here.

@TANK:
Also, apparently he’s incredibly dumb. Not that it matters, but he’s an automaton.

@TANK: Wasn’t he linked to Carrie Prejean recently? You’d have to be thick as two short planks to go there.
