Michael Phelps Live From Rio: Shows Off Room, Favorite Shoes & More

BALTIMORE (WJZ) -- Michael Phelps is in Rio for the Olympics and checked in live from the Village with fans via a Facebook Live video.

Phelps begins by showing off the view and the fairly small, bare room the team is staying in. He answered some questions from fans, takes us on a tour of the bedrooms and talked about his favorite pair of shoes.

He has a pair of Under Armour shoes which are red, white and blue with a little tiny footprint, Boomer's, printed on the side and inside. "Every time I look down there I get to see my little guy, so I'm pumped."
