It is not often Olympians forget who Michael Phelps is. But ice dancer Scott Moir was so excited at the rare chance of grabbing two medals in figure skating at the Sochi Games he got his 'Phelps' all mixed up.

"I'd like to be Ross Phelps and get eight medals ... who did I just say?" a wide-eyed and red-faced Moir told reporters before covering his face in shame.

As his Canadian teammates burst into roaring laughter, 2010 Olympic champion Moir quickly tried to back track: "I meant Michael Phelps. Ross Phelps is a volunteer for Skate Canada."
