MICHAEL Phelps won the 200-yard butterfly yesterday, giving the 14-time Olympic champion five first-place finishes in five events at the three-day North Baltimore Aquatic Center's Christmas meet at the US Naval Academy.
Phelps, swimming for the host NBAC, finished in 1 minute, 42.29 seconds, nearly 3 seconds ahead of Todd Patrick.
During the meet's first two days, Phelps won the 100 backstroke, 100 butterfly, 200 freestyle and 400 individual medley. He had also been scheduled to swim in the 100 freestyle on Sunday and swam it in preliminaries, but skipped the final to concentrate on the 200 fly. The two events were 22 minutes apart.
Phelps said he will compete next with the US team in this weekend's Duel in the Pool short-course meet in Manchester, England, against an international team of swimmers from England, Germany and Italy. After that, he plans to train for three weeks at the Olympic training center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.
More than 600 swimmers from age 10 and up competed in the GBAC meet, in its 36th year. Phelps had competed here many times as a youth and teenager, but last swam in the NBAC event in 2004.
