Phelps looks to better times
BEVERLY HILLS (U.S.): Michael Phelps is ready to put an up-and-down post-Olympic year behind him and focus on the challenges that await in 2010, including adjusting to a ban on the high-performance suits that rocked his sport.
The 14-time Olympic gold medallist will compete in one final meet, Duel in the Pool on December 18-19 in Manchester, England, before closing out the year.
“The biggest thing right now is me getting back in shape,” he told The Associated Press backstage at Sunday night’s Golden Goggle awards, where he collected two trophies.
Phelps’ recent trip to Europe for two World Cup short-course meets produced a batch of what he described as “pretty awful slow races,” resulting in no victories, let alone any records.
In preparation for the January 1 ban on high-tech suits, Phelps wore an old-style suit, making him look even slower against his polyurethane-clad competition.
