SOUNDBITE: (English) Michael Phelps

"You think I was happy to lose in, you think I was happy to lose in Mesa? Jeez I don't care if it was my first meet back or not, I didn't want to lose. I still have it I don't care what I'm competing in against anybody in the world I don't want anybody to beat me. Nobody. And that's still is the same I mean sure I'm more laid-back and more relaxed now than I ever have been and I was saying that going in to '12 but that's still I mean he's heard me say a couple of comments that will probably still show how fired up and motivated, I just hate to lose. And I know what I have to do to fix that."
