Phelps speeds past Lochte

MICHAEL Phelps turned in perhaps the most impressive performance so far in his comeback, posting the third-fastest time in the world this year while easily beating rival Ryan Lochte in the 100m butterfly at the Bulldog Grand Slam on Friday.

Despite some problems with his turn, Phelps had the packed house roaring when he touched in 51.67 seconds, considerably faster than the 52.11 he posted at the Santa Clara Grand Prix three weeks ago.

Lochte was a distant second in 53.08.

“I wanted to get under 52,” Phelps said, breaking into a big smile. “I was sick and tired of seeing 52.1.”
