In-form Phelps sweeps his 2 Montreal races

MONTREAL: Michael Phelps swept both events he entered at the Canada Cup swim meet, though he gave himself a split decision on his performance in his last two races leading up to next month's US nationals.

Phelps won the 100m freestyle on Sunday in the pool that hosted the 1976 Olympics after posting a personal best time there in winning Saturday's 100m butterfly.

His time of 48.65 seconds in the 100 freestyle improved on the 48.87 he swam a week earlier, when he finished second to defending world champion Brent Hayden of Canada in Santa Clara, California.
