Michael Phelps

SANTA CLARA, CA – Michael Phelps, the greatest Olympian of all time, is finishing 200m butterfly race at the Santa Clara Invitational. Phelps won the event with the time of 1:54.31, breaking the previous meet record, belonging to himself.
I’m spending this weekend attending this big meet held in Santa Clara (next door to San Jose) where some of the best swimmers in the world participate in preparation for the World Cup held in August in Rome, Italy. In today’s events they saved the best for the last, but it was worth the wait. Just as you have seen it at the Olympics, Phelps won his signature race without too much effort or competition.
Looking through these frames and how much body he gets out of the water with each butterfly stroke, it is no wonder Phelps has no competition in butterfly.
As a swimmer myself, this is one of my favorite weekends of the year.
