Phelps swims in Beijing to recall memory
Adjust font size:

 

Record-setting Olympian Michael Phelps returned to the "Water Cube," the National Aquatic Center, in Beijing. The American swimmer got a chance to soak up the memories of what may turn out to be an unsurpassable feat.

Phelps clinched a record eight gold medals at the Beijing Olympics last August. Four months later, the U.S swimming legend is set to return to his training. Phelps has also set his sights on more glory at the London Olympics in 2012. But he was cagey about his new goals. Phelps says he is still working out a plan with his coach, Bob Bowman. But the multi-gold medalist dashed any notions of striving to match or better his record Beijing haul.

Michael Phelps, wins 8 Olympic golds in Beijing, said, "Actually, today I was able to go to the Water Cube and to be able to stand in sort of like right where the medal ceremony was brought back a lot of memories.... I'm glad to have the opportunity to come back here and relive some of the moments that I had four months ago." "My shape is non-existent right now. I'm far from being in shape but I think, I talked to my coach today...I start just starting to get back into a normal routine."
