OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Michael Phelps wasn’t about to lose his last race in the United States.
With his huge wingspan cutting through the water, Phelps dazzled the home fans one last time.
Phelps made it three-for-three at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials, rallying on the return lap to win the 100-meter butterfly Saturday night.
In what was billed as the farewell race in his home country, Phelps competed in lane seven after a sluggish swim in the semifinals. As usual, it took him a lap to really get going, making the turn in fourth place.
