The Wall Street Journal, on July 2, 2017, featured a "review by a shark" of Discovery Channel's much-promoted "Phelps vs. Shark" race. The shark, identifying itself as Larry, expressed initial reluctance to review "human nonsense" while enjoying its summer chasing seals off the Hamptons.
The review humorously highlights the key outcome: Olympic swimmer Michael Phelps lost to a shark named Larry. The article mentions that Phelps was beaten by two seconds in a 100-meter race, although the specific distance or time is not precisely detailed within the available snippet.
Additional fragments in the search results also reference "Fred the Shark" and the year 2017, reinforcing the context of a shark-related media event from that period. This review was part of the ongoing Shark Week programming by Discovery Channel, often featuring high-profile stunts and documentaries.
