Phelps makes it six out of six at World Cup
MELBOURNE, Nov 30: American sensation Michael Phelps will keep the swimming world guessing until just before next year’s Athens Olympics as to what events he will compete in after winning all his six events at the shortcourse World Cup meet here.
The 18-year-old added the 100-metres butterfly (51.11) and 400-metres individual medley (4:06.28) to a perfect three days’ competition.
He had victories in the 100m and 200m individual medley, 200m backstroke and 200m butterfly on the opening two nights of the World Cup.
