Disney + Michael Phelps, Part II

I absolutely love it when two of my favorite things -- swimming/the Olympics & Disney -- collide. It's even better when it's Michael Phelps and the Little Mermaid. 

Congratulations to Michael Phelps, the Greatest of All Time. (And, with 5 Olympics, 28 medals, and 23 golds...that appellation is definitely appropriate.)

Disney + Michael Phelps

I love, love, love when two of my favorite things collide. In this case, it's Disney & Michael Phelps/swimming.

I was a swimmer in high school, and my year-round team swam at some of the same regional meets as Phelps, so I was exposed to his greatness fairly early on (way before the rest of the world). There are some people that you watch once and just know that they're on a completely different level.

So I always root for Phelps -- always -- and was irrationally heartbroken when he lost the 200 Fly to Chad Le Clos in 2012. And I was irrationally elated at the "drama" that unfolded surrounding the Olympic rematch.

By now, #thePhelpsFace is an Internet meme sensation -- and we all know the results of the final -- but this is probably my favorite take on it:
