MICHAEL Phelps dropped one veil on Sunday, confirming his entry in the 400m individual medley at the US Olympic trials in Nebraska. Phelps, winner of the punishing event at the last two Olympics, had vowed after the 2008 Beijing Games that he wouldn't swim it again in major competition.
Even after his early entry in the event, he had indicated he might scratch. Instead, the deadline to pull out passed on Sunday with Phelps still slated for an intriguing match-up against Ryan Lochte. If he qualifies to race the 400 in London, Phelps gives himself an edge in a race with Japanese breaststroke star Kosuke Kitajima to become the first male swimmer to win the same event at three successive Games.
