Phelps claims 3rd race at US Winter Championships
Print Edition
American swim star Michael Phelps roared home to win the 200-meter butterfly and claim his third victory in as many days at the US Winter National Championships on Saturday.
The 18-time Olympic gold medalist and world record holder in the event clocked 1 minute, 56.11 seconds as he continues his preparations for an Olympic comeback next year in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Chase Kalisz finished 1.01 seconds back in second while Dakota Hodgson was third in 1:59.09, three seconds slower than Phelps at the King County Aquatic Center in Seattle, Washington. Phelps was still well off his American record of 1:52.20 set in 2008. He set the world record of 1:51.51 a year later in Rome. Phelps won the 200 individual medley on Thursday and the 100 butterfly on Friday.
