NBC Olympics and Team USA Instagram pages showed the clip of Phelps being given a phone, where he watched Cate Campbell, the 32-year-old Australian who spoke with the country’s Channel 9 at the 2023 World Championships in Japan...

"Such, such, sore losers," Campbell said in the clip of Team USA. "Australia coming out on top is one thing, but it is just so much sweeter beating America. There were a couple of nights, particularly the first night of competition, where we did not have to hear the ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ ring out through the stadium and I cannot tell you how happy that made me. If I never hear that song again, it will be too soon. Bring on Paris, that’s all I have to say. U.S., stop being sore losers."..

"If somebody said that to me, I would lose it," Phelps said candidly. "I would make them eat every word they just said about me."
