AFP, Santa Clara :

Olympic superstar Michael Phelps, who admitted this week he’s fed up with losing in a comeback aimed at the 2016 Olympics, won the 200m butterfly at the Santa Clara Pro Swim. Phelps, whose 18 Olympic gold medals include his perfect eight-gold campaign in Beijing in 2008, led from the start on Saturday and held off hard-charging North Baltimore Aquatic Club teammate Chase Kalisz over the final 50 meters to win in 1min 57.62sec.
Kalisz was second in 1:58.06, with Friday’s 100m fly winner Tom Shields third in 1:58.28.
