Extractions: ASSOCIATED PRESS Michael Phelps just can't slow down. Eleven months after a seemingly once-in-a-lifetime Olympic performance, America's swimming phenom is gearing up for a similarly challenging schedule at the world championships, which begin Sunday in Montreal. Call it an Athens Redux. "He would like to push himself to a new level," said Bob Bowman, Phelps' longtime coach. Phelps certainly fulfilled his coach's prophecy, capturing six golds and a record-tying haul of eight medals overall. Phelps left his teenage years behind a couple of weeks ago, but he's hardly over the hill. In fact, his lanky, 6-foot-5 body still seems fully capable of doing it all over again. "I feel good, so let's keep it going," he said. Beijing Games in sight Who knows? Phelps might keep it going all the way to Beijing, still three years away on the Olympic calendar. "If he continues along the way he is now, has a good year of training next year, I don't see why he couldn't attempt the same thing in Beijing that he did in Athens," Bowman said. Phelps will take on a slightly different challenge in Montreal. He swapped two of his world-record events, the 200-meter butterfly and 400 individual medley, for the 100 and 400 freestyles.

Extractions: Swimming went more than three decades before discovering someone to better the Olympic records set by Mark Spitz, but the wait to find a challenger to the mark set by Michael Phelps could last another century. Spitz set the benchmark for Olympic swimming by winning seven gold medals at the 1972 Munich Games but Phelps raised the bar even higher in Athens. The American teenager, unrivalled as the star of the pool in Athens, won eight medals, including six golds, to match Soviet gymnast Alexander Dityatin's 1980 record for the most medals at one Games. He had been promised $1 million if he could equal Spitz by winning seven golds but he could potentially earn 50 times that amount after creating his own legacy. "I just wanted to be the first Michael Phelps," he explained. Phelps, 19, won individual medley and both butterfly finals as well as two relay golds. He got a bronze in the 200 freestyle behind Ian Thorpe and Pieter van den Hoogenband and another in the 4x100 freestyle relay surprisingly won by South Africa. He broke his own world record to win the 400 individual medley, the first of the 32 finals, and was still going strong at the end, beating his team mate and world record holder Ian Crocker in the 100 butterfly final.

The lanky, hip-hop loving American stole the limelight at last year's Athens Olympics when he scooped up an unprecedented eight medals, including six golds, to confirm his reputation as the world's greatest contemporary swimmer. His halo slipped when he was busted for drink-driving in November and sentenced to 18 months' probation but his attempt to win another eight medals in Montreal will thrust him back in the spotlight for all the right reasons. No swimmer has ever won eight medals at a single world championship but few would bet against Phelps becoming the first, particularly in the absence of his great rival Ian Thorpe and the flying Dutchman Pieter van den Hoogenband.

Extractions: Swimming sensation Pieter van den Hoogenband has completed a freestyle sprint double, and denied Alexander Popov a unique Olympic hat-trick. The Dutchman's comprehensive victory in the 100m freestyle final followed his success in the 200m earlier in the week. It also destroyed second-placed Popov's dreams of becoming the first man to win the title three consecutive times. Van den Hoogenband, who set a new world record in the semi-final, touched the wall almost four-tenths of a second ahead of a thrilling battle for the silver. Popov triumphed in that fight, just four-hundredths quicker than Gary Hall Jr of the US.

Extractions: Wednesday, August 18, 2004 I'm beginning to get scared. Is NBC really going to keep presenting this many actual events? Or, are they just getting ready to break my heart. Honestly, I don't know, but I'm loving the ride! We start Wednesday's coverage in the first Olympic stadium in Olympia, Greece. Actually, since I was up pretty late last night (this morning?) writing this update, I got to see at least some of this live. Let me tell you right now that my favorite analyst on NBC's entire payroll is Dwight Stones , whose knowledgeable commentary on almost every "field" event of track and field is just plain outstanding. He knows the events, he doesn't play favorites, he explains what the athletes are trying to do, and he explains what the officials and judges are looking for. In short, everyone else should be taking lessons from him. Anyway, the event was the shot put, as that was pretty much the only thing Olympians still throw that wouldn't fly out of a stadium that small. The crowd got free tickets. They got to sit up on the hill surrounding the playing surface. The sky was deep blue. The sun was shining. The birds were singing.
