Hilarious Fan Photo: Guy In Front of Michael Phelps’ Mom Is Quite Impressed

Facial expressions like this are why we love the Olympics:

 

Last night at the U.S. Olympic Team Trials in Omaha, Michael Phelps out-touched rival Ryan Lochte in the final of the 200 freestyle. (Both Phelps and Lochte qualified for the Olympics in the event.)

As usual, Phelps’s mother and sister went nuts. The guy sitting in front of them was also impressed.

All credit for this picture goes to user Mother_Fraker at (where else?) Reddit.

Editor’s note: while going through this post, I couldn’t help but notice the guy on the right:

Whoa. He is decidedly not impressed.

Must be a Lochte fan…
