the_milky_wayAmerican teen sensation Michael Phelps won two events tonight.
Michael Phelps got his first win of the meet in the 200m IM with a time of 1:57.12. At the end of the race, Phelps out-touched Great Britain’s James Hickman by .05 of a second.
“I’ve been looking for my first win all week, so I’m happy I finally got that,” the 17-year-old said. “Mainly, what’s happened this weekend lets me know where I’m at in my training. This year, the competition is stiff. Last year’s meet didn’t have people like Pieter van den Hoogenband, James Hickman and Thomas Rupprath.”
Yeah, Mikey... :D
