Singaporean beats childhood idol Phelps in heats
Singaporean swimmer Joseph Schooling defeated his childhood idol Micheal Phelps in 100-metre butterfly heats on Friday. The 21-year-old, who finished first ahead of the 31-year-old Phelps by 0.19 seconds, had met him at the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Notably, Phelps competed in the 100m butterfly heats 20 minutes after winning his 22nd Olympic gold medal in 200m individual medley.
