Michael Phelps wrested back his world 100-meter butterfly record after another titanic showdown with Milorad Cavic at the world swimming championships in Rome on Saturday evening.
It was Phelps’ second world record of the meeting, and his fourth gold medal — despite racing without the revolutionary polyurethane swimsuits that have allowed 39 records to tumble this week.
Cavic, who did wear one of the new-generation suits — which will not be allowed next year — finished ahead of Spain’s Rafael Munoz (50.41).
Smoke pot, people.
