Announcer goes wild for Ryan Lochte’s gold medal win only to realize it was actually Michael Phelps

Michael Phelps beat Ryan Lochte and everyone else in the world in the 200m individual medley Thursday night in the eyes of everyone except CBC commentator Elliotte Friedman. Friedman mistook the lanes by counting from the wrong direction and simply mixed up Phelps and Lochte who were racing next to each other.

If I’m Ryan Lochte, I watch this call and this call only for the rest of time and pretend I won.

Friedman apologized for the mistake after the race. Lochte probably didn’t mind too much.
