As if we didn’t love the most-decorated Olympian ever and hometown hero, Michael Phelps, enough in Baltimore.
Then he goes and does this.
While being honored with his 20th of 21 gold medals for winning the 200-meter butterfly final (take that Chad Le Clos), Phelps was on the podium during the medal ceremony in Rio de Janeiro with tears welling up in his eyes as the national anthem played.
Then came the lyrics: Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there ...
Just then, Phelps’ facial expression completely changed and he burst into laughter.
