Anderson Cooper (In A Swimsuit) Races Michael Phelps (VIDEO)

On this Sunday's 60 Minutes, Anderson Cooper has an interview with Olympic hero Michael Phelps.

During the interview, Cooper challenged Phelps to a race, with a few conditions to try and even out the playing field.

Phelps had to swim underwater, with no breathing, and could only use his legs. Cooper also got to dive in while Phelps could only push off the wall.

Plus, Phelps has not really been training since the games and is, for him, sort of out of shape.

So who won?

That kid's a f'kin fish!

[mjb5406]

Yeah... it looked like he was sailing through air, not water... if you look at how he swims underwater and compare it to how a dolphin or porpoise moves, there are similarities (makes me wonder if he studied the hydrodynamics of how they move, then worked to emulate those moves).

[socratiskiss]

I love Anderson Cooper. What a cutie!

[socratiskiss]

I

Is AC gay? He needs to come out and say so and stop flirting with Erica on AC 360. Not that there is any thing wrong with being Gay! I just want to know before I make any move.

[TstormVA]

Rumor is that he his and has a long time partner.

[SPQR1052]

Sorry to burst your bubbles but it's TRUE.

[mjb5406]

And if he is, (a) so what and (b) how does that affect you, or anyone else for that matter? He delivers great reporting.­.. that''s all I care about. Do you mention that Larry King is Jewish, or that T.J. Holmes is African-American? It's the same bloody thing.

[Liberalicious]

[roblabrousse]

[TrueJustice]

Phelps, G.A.Y.!!!!­!! Anderson Cooper, A MAN'S MAN!!!!!!

[LoveMuffin]

My, how mature.

[YellowDogInRedCounty]

If by "Man's Man" you mean a man who likes other men.

[thephenomenologist]

was the only reason anderson did this to sneak a peak in the shower room later? i think so ...

[Demetre]

Sorry Anderson, you're no George Plimpton!

[harriettubman]

Anderson is such a cutie!!!

[Eriq]

And after swimming across the pool, his hair comes out perfect! Wow.

[Culturemaven]

My gosh, where was Michael Phelps' mother? I hardly recognized Michael without his mother shrieking at him.
You know, AC did not embarrass himself, except for the boxers. Most of us would have been whupped by half a pool length.

phelps is a man fish

[Gorestro]

Anderson could've done better if he were wearing a swim cap and a Speedo LZR Racer.

[barrycourage]

A Speedo would definitely have been better.

Definitely.

[Eric8869]

Wonder if they showered together afterwards?

[bandillero]

But of course

[Sioen]

Shirtless Anderson AND nearly naked Phelps!!! Schwing! It's a freakin dream!!!

[Sioen]

And the more I see of Michael, the more plain are his delightfully fey hand gestures and vocal style.

[keifergodot]

Schwing!!!! :)

[Eriq]

I thought the same thing. His hand gestures are very sweet, aren't they?

[barrycourage]

Swimming, yet.

A very wet dream.

[ProgressDon]

Video's often worth a thousand..­.......wel­l never mind.
