phelps smokes the competition

The competition for Michael Phelps in Santa Clara went up in smoke this Friday night in Santa Clara at the international grand prix. Phelps sucked in a huge lungful (of air) before diving into the 200 meter butterfly where he wasted the competition, burning his closest competitor by over 5 seconds, leaving the rest in a small pile of ash at well over 2 minutes.
