Michael Phelps powered his way to victory in the men’s 200-meter fly for the first time since the 2012 U.S. Olympic Trials.
USA Swimming has uploaded the video to its YouTube account.
Original 200 fly report:
NBAC’s Michael Phelps withstood a tough final 25 meters to secure the men’s 200-meter fly title at the Arena Pro Swim Series Santa Clara.
Phelps uncorked a winning time of 1:57.62 after going out in 55.56. That’s Phelps’ best 200 fly time since his comeback, clearing the 1:58.90 he clocked this morning during prelims.
He still has some time to drop to get into the world-class range as Laszlo Cseh is 10th in the world with a 1:55.95. Andrew Seliskar is still the top-ranked American with a ninth-ranked 1:55.92 from Austin.
Phelps’ teammate Chase Kalisz checked in with a second-place time of 1:58.06, while California’sTom Shields settled for third with a time of 1:58.28.
FIAT’s Kaio Almeida (1:58.98), SwimMAC’s Tyler Clary (1:59.62), Club Wolverine’s Kyle Whitaker(1:59.66), California’s Justin Lynch (1:59.73), Dynamo’s Gunnar Bentz (2:00.20) and Stanford’sBobby Bollier (2:01.16) placed fourth through ninth in the finale.
