A case of mistaken identity – Parry as Phelps
August 20, 2008
This is funny.
Carrying a cutout of Olympic star Michael Phelps, BBC’s Steve Parry was mobbed by Chinese “Phelps fans” in Tiananmen Square. They actually have a bit of a similarity which is probably why the Chinese got confused. 
To have the “swimming” connection, Parry actually swam the 200m butterfly alongside Phelps during the Athens Olympics. Parry won bronze, while Phelps took the gold.
