MONTREAL:
American swimming star Michael Phelps posted his second victory in two days, capturing the men’s 100 metre butterfly at the Canada Cup swimming competition. The 14-time Olympic gold medalist, who turns 26, clocked 51.32 seconds to beat his American compatriot Chris Brady by more than a second. “I’m really happy with that and I know I need to do more training,” said Phelps. “It’s races like these that I think help me more mentally than anything else. Being able to still see that I can pop a good race here and there gives me a little bit of a confidence.”
