By now, everyone has seen the throwback photo of Michael Phelps giving a 9-year-old Katie Ledecky his autograph.

Their updated version, shared on Instagram by USA Swimming, turns the tables. Phelps is patiently waiting for a Ledecky autograph. He is adorably smiling even wider than 9-year-old Ledecky was, and Ledecky nails Phelps' I've-been-signing-autographs-for-hours-I-can't-smile-anymore expression.

Unfortunately, Phelps' awkward arm placement was not honored in the recreation.
