Phelps, other swimmers find new suit up to speed -
Summary from United States, from articles in English
INDIANAPOLIS - Still a year away from the Summer Olympics, coaches, commentators and swimming enthusiasts are already running out of adjectives to describe what Michael Phelps is capable of in the pool. (article 2) Phelps won the 200-meter backstroke last night with a time of 1 minute, 54.65 seconds, less than 0.3 of a second off the world-record pace. (article 2) INDIANAPOLIS - The third day of the ConocoPhillips USA Swimming National Championships was marked by a pair of exciting rivalry races one marred by a bad start, and the other capped by an exciting finish. (article 1) Just a half-hour after his third-place finish in the 400-meter freestyle yesterday, Michael Phelps took to the starting blocks for the 100-meter butterfly and another showdown with world record holder Ian Crocker. (article 1) Phelps, who won seven gold medals and set four individual world records this year at the FINA world championships in Melbourne, Australia, has less than a year of training left for the Olympics. (article 6) Wearing a prototype suit that was still under top-secret development, Phelps zipped through the 200-meter freestyle in the fastest time an American has ever managed on his home soil. (article 11) The two winning times last night met coach Bob Bowman's approval, and Phelps was granted this morning off. (article 7)
