Michael Phelps is coming to town

I wonder who will be the first to attend Caps game, Prez Obama or Mr. Phelps?

Pavel Lysenkov talks with Michael Phelps:

You were born in Baltimore. Alexander Ovechkin is next door, in Washington, and is considered one of the most popular athletes. Do you know him?
We've never met. But I really want to see Ovechkin this year. A few weeks ago my friend almost persuaded me to hit the road to Washington for the Capitals game. I regret that I did not go because Ovechkin is unreal. My friend later said, "Too bad, you've missed a lot..."

Do you know what is common between you and Ovechkin? The energy with which you both compete. It is said that Alexander takes three cans of energy drinks before each game.
Now I really want to meet this guy! But if I'd drink so many cans, I'd just crash in a couple of hours and fall asleep. Do you know how they are working? They give you a supercharge for a short time, and then - a crash. No, I would just crash after three cans.

So you are not going to adopt this Ovechkin's habit?
I will not compete with him on energy drinks usage. He will win for sure!

Kind of weird, what Michael Phelps said was translated into Russian and now back into English. I wonder how much has been lost in two translations. :-)
