Journalists and video crews from around the world were at Arizona State on Monday to talk to Michael Phelps in his final major media session before the U.S. Olympic Swimming Trials.
Phelps and U.S. Olympic men's/ASU coach Bob Bowman also unveiled the suit, goggles and cap that Phelps will wear at the trials, June 26-July 3 in Omaha, Neb., and if he qualifies at his fifth Olympics, Aug. 5-21 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
MP brand flags flew at ASU's Carson Center and at Mona Plummer, and the 13 swimmers training in Bowman's pro group for Rio wore ASU swim caps, part of the branding boost that the university and its swim program are receiving from hiring Bowman a year ago.
