It had been six years that Phelps waited to reclaim a world record he once held for a day. It was 27 years -- is that possible? -- between Torres' first and most recent national titles.
Michael Phelps won the 200-meter freestyle and 200-meter butterfly Wednesday at the U.S. national swimming championships in Indianapolis.
The 14-time Olympic gold medalist held off David Walters in the closing meters of the freestyle race to touch first in 1 minute, 44.23 seconds. Ryan Lochte was third in 1:45.66. The eight-man field included the 800 freestyle relay team of Phelps, Lochte, Ricky Berens and Peter Vanderkaay that won gold at the Beijing Olympics.
In the butterfly race, Phelps finished in 1:52.76

Thank you for your comments. I wish I had been able to write the entire account in English, but the 11-page account in our Spanish blog took alot out of me emotionally.
Thank you for being a reader of this new blog.
