We're sure it wasn't entirely intentional, but Michael Phelps now-infamous death stare before the 200m butterfly semifinals broke the internet last night.

Hundreds of funny Tweets were sent out after he sat behind his rival, South African swimmer Chad LeClos, danced and shadowboxed right in front of him.  LeClos beat Phelps to the gold in the same event during the 2012 games.

The pre-race prep paid off.  Phelps claimed second place, and will advance to the finals today.

We recreated it this morning...who wore it better? :)
