Phelps shines in Montreal
Updated: August 21, 2010, 12:04 AM
Michael Phelps swept both events he entered at the Canada Cup, though he gave himself a split decision on his performance in his last two races leading up to next month’s U. S. nationals.
Phelps won the 100-meter freestyle Sunday in the Montreal pool that hosted the 1976 Olympics after posting a personal best time there in winning Saturday’s 100-meter butterfly.
His time of 48.65 seconds in the 100 freestyle improved on the 48.87 he swam one week earlier, when he finished second to defending world champion Brent Hayden of Canada in Santa Clara, Calif.
“I’m sort of everywhere where I want to be, except in the 100 free,” Phelps said. “I want to be faster in that.”
Phelps was asked his position on high-tech swimsuits with FINA due to issue its newly approved list today.
“I think it should be a level playing field for everybody, no matter what suit you’re wearing, and that’s about it,” said Phelps, who pointed out that he wears an approved Speedo LZR suit and has “nothing to worry about.”
The Montreal meet is Phelps’ final tuneup for the U. S. nationals in Indianapolis on July 7-11.
