You want truly unpredictable when it comes to Michael Phelps?
Here's something nobody had heading into Friday night: the greatest swimmer of all time finishing in a three-way tie for the silver medal in the 100-meter butterfly.
But that's what happened in what Phelps has maintained will be the final individual swim of his Olympic career. Phelps was sixth at the 50-meter/halfway turn. He made up water, but not quite enough, falling to Singapore swimmer Joseph Schooling, who touched the wall in 50.39 -- setting an Olympic record. It's Singapore's first medal in swimming.
Phelps, South African Chad le Clos and Hungarian Laszlo Cseh all had a time of 51.
