  • Intro:

    Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time, talks about finishing runner-up in his first final since making a comeback to swimming.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English): Michael Phelps:

    "My stroke was a little off, a little rushed tonight, and it was way more relaxed this morning, but I swam a final again, you know. I think just sort of after this morning I was more relaxed tonight. I think it was really just getting the first jitters out of the way this morning when I swam and just getting my feet wet literally again, and being at a swim meet. I kind of was able to relax a little bit more tonight. It's one meet, it's one race. It's a long way whether I decide to continue or not. This was awesome. I'm really excited about how things went and I do know what I need to do if I want to continue and I want to swim faster, and obviously I like swimming faster and faster each race. I'm doing this because I want to and I'm doing this because I'm having fun. I'm not putting any pressure on myself to do, to say I'm doing this or say I'm doing that in the future. I'm just enjoying myself right now on this road and in this process and this journey and today was a fun day."
