Biggest Olympics loser so far? Spelling.

Sadly, enough fans of Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps are unable to spell his name that “Micheal Phelps” became a trending topic on Twitter this morning. “Micheal” is especially popular among advocates of pot legalization.

Thank you micheal phelps for showing us you can smoke weed and be in the #Olympics
