Phelps experienced a hiccup before hitting the pool on Tuesday after he ripped his swim cap and needed to borrow one from a teammate.

But the setback proved to have no effect on Phelps, who claimed victory at the end of his races.

The USA men’s basketball team was standing by after the big win and was proud to pose for pictures with Phelps.
