Phelps Loses!

Oh, Fishy Phelps.
You've lost your edge!
While competing in the Charlotte UltraSwim competition in North Carolina on Saturday, the Olympic gold medalist lost the 100-meter backstroke to swimmer Aaron Peirsol!
Peirsol finished the backstroke in 53.32 seconds while Phelps took a dismal 53.79 seconds to complete the 100-meter stroke.
It was the first time Phelps has lost in a year.
Bong hits can really damage a person's lung capacity!
Too bad for Fishy!

the backstroke is phelp's weakest stroke, maybe if someone actually followed the sport of swimming one would know this.
first of all he didnt even compete in backstroke during the olympics. he admits it isnt his best.
and he did win in 100 meter butterfly and freestyle.
You're an idiot, Perez.
HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
yeah that does suck….but it could be worse….he could be gay
The backstroke isn't his thing! He lost to this guy pre-bong.
YOU ARE AN IDIOT. Phelps is not strong in the backstroke, hence why he didn't even compete in the backstroke in the Olympics. He won the 100m butterfly and the 200m freestyle at the North Carolina meet. So piss off.
PS: Bong hits expand the lungs!
okay maybe because he hasnt swam in 3 months?? Plus he kicked ass in the other event…he lost by not even a second..dont act like your so much better
And the wons he did win… They didn't count?
He reached his physical peak during the olympics. Now it's just downfall…
you are a fucking idiot if you think his smoking pot had anything to do with losing the race.
Um . . . Phelps didn't even compete in the backstroke in the Olympics. It's not even his race.
Fugly bitch is a junkie
Perez nothing is fishy about this ……. stop trying to make a story out of nothing. Its not his stroke idiot, he won the butterfly and freestyle which ARE his strokes.
Maybe Miss California will come to his rescue…..
Aaron is the WORLD record holder and Olympic Champion in this event. Yes Phelps can swim it, but it's not one of his best. It's only really news if Phelps loses one of his actual races. If he loses the 200 fly, then that's news worthy.
Maybe he shouldn't have been so cocky and kept up with his practicing.
GOOD, LET SOMEONE ELSE WIN FOR A CHANGE
Idiot! This should be a message to kids about drugs, but it wont turn out to be bc ppl glorify them so much and this is coming for a former avid pot smoker.
no one gives a fuck the man won 8 gold medals who cares … wat have u won perez? and i used 2 swim and backstroke is a pain in da ass if the man sucks at one stroke let him b pot smoker or not he can relax
Eh, I never liked him anyway.
Aaron Peirsol can beat Micheal Phelps even when Phelps is at his best… cause if you realllly think about it.. Perisol is soo much better than Michael Phelps.. and so is Ryan Lochte.
Why don't you also mention that he WON other events at that same swim meet. He is still on top. He's never been good at the back stroke. No big deal here. You are dumb.
YO MORON PEREZ! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT SWIMMING! HE DOESN'T SWIM BACKSTROKE! HAHA FOOL!
Phelps doesn't even swim backstroke.
This is just a warmup meet for him to get back into competition mode so he is swimming all his off events. And Peirsol won the 100m back at the olympics and i think he holds the record in that event too.
So who really cares.
haha it's his weakest stroke!! Nice way to make pot look bad perez!!! He won the ones he won in the olympics…pot-1 perez-0
Perez, I think this post deserves an "Update." You should tell your readers the whole truth… that Phelps doesn't even compete in the backstroke at the Olympics and that he did win his other events yesterday. You've disappointed me
A gap of less than half a second makes his time dismal? Really, fat boy?
By the way Mario….doing some weed is a hell of a lot better than doing Ex like you do all the time. Just google perez hilton drugs ringpop to see a fucked up mario stoned out of his mind and looking like shit.
Re: audaciousanalyst – Thank you! That's exactly what I was going to say.
Piersol is the world recordholder in the backstroke. Breaststroke is phelp's worst stroke, but finishing that close to Piersol in the 100 back isn't bad at all.
He's a douche, but give him credit where credit is due.
I love you Perez but you should do a little research before you post stories! It took me all of 2 minutes to read that the backstroke is his weakest stroke, and that he won the other races he was in that day.
Gay folks must not be too smart, the backstroke isn't one of Phelps best events, as a matter of fact he didn't even compete in the event at the Olympics. No wonder prop 8 was voted on properly in California and yes marriage should be between a man and a woman.
Let's be honest… Aaron Peirsol is so much damn hotter than Phelps any day. I'd rather see him swim.
im officially done with this stupid blog. perez you're a moron. you should get your facts before you copy and paste news from other blogs and shit.
DUDE, YOUR TURNING INTO A FRANKEN-FAG!
maybe if you smoked a j every now and then, perez, you woudn't be so nasty towards people who don't kiss your ass.
You're right Perez, he is totally washed up, he should kiss your ass now to save his career.
Perez, you are a fucking idiot. He doesn't even compete in the backstroke, yet he came in second by a half second.
Re: stodds50free – That's too much common sense thought for 90% of the posters here. They'd rather suck on Perez and believe his word is the final word. How's Castro doing? "I don't follow swimming, but since he lost, that MUST mean it's cause he is a druggie cause Perez says so… "… given he took time off before the suspension AND this isn't even his event, not to mention he lost to the record holder - too much logical thinking. You probably made someone's head explode.
lol

The backstroke isn't his best. Peirsol holds the world record in that and Phelps had lost to him prior to the Olympics as well. And Phelps one the butterfly and freestyle, which are his bests. Not newsworthy.
you are always looking for the negative in others….look at yourself its all negative. His weakest stroke is the backstroke. He didnt even compete it in the Olympics.
You're an idiot Perez
I can't stand how Perez can be so judgmental especially on topics about which he has no idea. Aaron Peirsol is a great backstroker. Michael Phelps has never had a strong backstroke. Coming in second to Peirsol is not necessarily a bad thing.
Anyone that follows this young man knows that the backstroke has never been one of his events that he excels in he has always admitted that. You are starting to sound like Ms.(WHOREBAG) California, oh im against gay marrigage but its ok for me the church going girl I am to pose nude and show my nipples to everyone. NOT COOL!
How does it feel to be called an idiot so many times a day Perez…they must be adding up.
Re: londoncalling – that about sums it up =)
ya cant win em all..
ok now you cory PEREZ aint nothen wrong with smoken mary j!!!
It takes a Longhorn to bring down Phelps… HOOK 'EM!
i don't think phelps has anything to worry about!
The backstroke is his weakest stroke and he just barely came in second to his good friend and the world record holder. No shit he lost. He didn't even compete in it during the olympics.
You also failed to mention that he WON both his races the day before.
Way to be an idiot.
1. he doesnt give a shit
2. backstroke isn't his best stroke
3. i love you perez but sports isnt your thing
4. ultra swim is the first meet of the season, it's not a big deal
5. he'll lose again
Re: audaciousanalyst – EXACTLY!
Re: mmscott – word!
of course, if phelps actually cared about perez "do i look like a lesbian?" hilton's opinion maybe he could chop his dick off, get implants, and start wearing make-up
i'm sure perez would approve then
Perez, You're an idiot.
out of all the asinine, ridiculous garbage you people post, this is the winner.
You're a goddamn fucking yambag.
Perez, get your facts straight. Before 2008, Piersol (the guy that Phelps "dismally" lost to) was undefeated for almost 5 years. Also, Phelps lost by less than a second, most people couldn't even tell that by the naked eye. Stop being so harsh on Phelps!
he could still swim circles around your fat ass
please stfu perez
he's human
or did you know that
I'd rather take a hit off a joint instead of taking it up the ass
perez, you're such a tool.
the backstroke is his weakest stroke.
hence, why he didnt compete in that during the olympics.
This was not an upset at all- Peirsol is the 2 time defending Olympic champ in that event and world record holder in the event for at least 6 years. And backstroke isn't his worst stroke - it's breaststroke!
perez, i wish you would sometimes make right connections
instead of linking his loss to the bong, maybe you should link it to the winner (the best backstroke swimmer at the moment)
if you knew anything about marijuana its virtually harmless (smoke isn't great for your lungs) but marijuana ingesting it any other way is harmless so back off of your ridiculous statements you make yourself look like such an idiot some times.
Tell the whole story fatty. He won two other races and the backstrok is not his forte. Your just jealous because you're not a big boobed hot chick that he loves to bang.
Perez~ you are an effing idiot.
Re: IHFP – lmao!
who care he still won when it count gather it was not even for backstrocking he never been good at it so bong on phelps.
follow me on twitter @skyelighter
You are an idiot. At least know WTF you are talking about before spouting off lies.
If my daughters ever make it to the Olympics, much less win 8 medals (or however many it is that he's won) - I'm rolling them a joint. A blunt. And packing up the bong.
Perez, i think you should stick to what you know.. celebrity bullshit, not sports.
Re: audaciousanalyst –
Thankyou thank you. Perez knows nothing about swimming or the fact that Phelps best stroke is the fly. Also the fact that swimmers go back and forth all the time. Just because he rocked the Olympics doesn't mean he can win all the time. I mean some of those races he won by a hundreth of a second. Peirsol is an AMAZING swimmer and probably has been working just as hard as Phelps.
Moron seriously don't talk about things you know nothing about. You can comment on his use of drugs or what he looks like all you want, but as for the sport you should just leave it alone…or take it up. You could use the exercise.
Always talkin crap perez
Yea bonghits may do damage alil..
..but as for you PEREZ HILTON damage is also done by having things jammed in your ass all the time…I cant believe you make a living off of talking shit about peeps and bashing them for there beliefs…
wow you are a fucking dip shit he lost by a few fractions of a second and you have to make weed jokes? do you have any fucking idea how much it is costing our country to keep up with this marijuana prohibition? news flash weed isnt dangerous, harmful, and it can even be used as a medicine for the terminally ill with little side effects except for occasional paranoia. The more people promote false propaganda about weed the longer we will see this as a joke and not a serious problem effecting millions of people (even those of you who dont smoke, your tax dollars are going to keep kids who smoke a little harmless hashish in jail)
way to fall for the propaganda of major drug companies and producers of alcohol and the government, all of whom profit from prohibition.
p.s. aaron perisol is actually the world's fastest backstroker, and an american, so it's certainly not hurting out standings for the next olympics. I don't know that it's his weakest stroke, I would guess it's breastroke (get your mind out of the gutter!). In any event he's still and olympian in individual medley, so we're just splitting hairs.
I'll smoke em out anytime!!
Unless it it the Olympics no one really cares.
Re: IHFP –
"ihfp" you say…it could be worse…Phelps could be gay. Is that supposed to be funny you ignorant prick. Nothing wrong with being gay, it's natural. Get over yourself and grow up.
Phelps Rules!
follow me on twitter@skyelighter
Seriously? Stick to what you know. Aaron Piersol always has been able to and probably always will be able to kick Phelps ASS in backstroke events. He's dominated in backstoke events for at least the last 8 years. He took over from Lenny Krayzelburg. He's the best in the world. Not to mention F-I-N-E! He wins in that dept. too.
He should get an Incredibowl. Then he can enjoy his weed and still succeed.
Um, Phelps would be the first to say the backstroke isn't his best. He is changing his entire program and dropping several events that he did in the Olympics. He is trying new races and new techniques. Everything is a learning process at this point. The first time you tried something new, like, oh lets say smokin' pole, were you perfect at it? No and I bet he'd say you weren't either. Perez, honey, you talking about sports is like having John Madden talk about Paris' Fashion Week….. it's gonna sound like shit.
AGAIN PEREZ YOU DON'T KNOW SHIT! EVERYBODY AND EVEN MICHAEL PHELPS HIMSELF KNOWS THAT BACKSTROKE ISN'T REALLY HIS THING. PEIRSOL HOWEVER IS THE WORLD RECORD HOLDER IN IT. SO IT MAKES SENSE…
wow you're a fucking idiot. lol
YEAH PEREZ! EVERYBODY EVEN MICHAEL PHELPS HIMSELF KNOWS THAT BACKSTROKE ISN'T REALLY HIS THING. PEIRSOL HOWEVER IS THE WORLD RECORD HOLDER IN IT. SO IT MAKES SENSE…
So a loss by a half second is dismal? Fuck you, you fat piece of shit.
Spottted: Michael Phelps the night before this meet at Club One in Baltimore, Maryland — DRINKINGGG!! The entire University of Maryland, College Park club lacrosse team saw him in the VIP section. He also FREAKED OUT when one of the laxer's dates took his picture - body guards confiscated the camera and deleted it .. crazyyyyyyyy
My god he lost to a swimmer. Ever thought of doing sports commentary you fat retard
Junebug0622-If and that is a big IF, he was out drinking the night before the meet…..then it works for him. He won his first two races, actually swam those ones faster this weekend then he did in the Olympics……. pass the Grey Goose!
He lost the same race to the same competitor the last time he competed in it, and he was in top form. So that means … WHAT? Come up with a new schtick. I'm a great fan of yours, and even I'M getting fed up with your crap. You can do better. This wasn't news.
do you know how fast half of a second goes? his time in general is beyond impressive even if he didn't win. the event is not his best by far, and he is a finger's length from the world record holder. just think about that.
Re: IHFP – LOL. that is fuckin awesome. you are the man. Perez this has nothing to do with you being gay but you are a bitch.
First, It's his worst stroke, as stated before.
Secondly, you don't even need lung capacity for backstroke cause your face is above water for the whole race. Learn swimming before you bash shit, douche bag.
Uhhh… People, the backstroke is not his thing.
Yeah Perez, if you would have done a little research you would know that MP doesn't do the backstroke usually. He did it to test himself. And it's not like he last either he was 2nd, not 8th but 2nd. There's a huge diff.
