OMAHA, Neb. (AP) — Michael Phelps is heading back to the Olympics.
So is Missy Franklin.
Phelps, the most decorated athlete in Olympic history, held off a stiff challenge from Tom Shields to win the 200-meter butterfly at the U.S. swimming trials Wednesday night. Phelps whipped around to look at his time — a bit slower than he probably would've liked — and held up all five fingers on his right hand.
Yep, it's Olympics No. 5, making him the first male swimmer to compete in that many Summer Games.
"I think that means the most tonight," Phelps said, pausing to compose himself.
