Do not mess with Michael Phelps. He WILL smack you down...Wins back Record from Nemesis

I love Michael Phelps...he rocks my Kosher socks...

 ROME -- Do not mess with Michael Phelps. He runs on emotion, dances through fire and uses all slights, disses and challenges to make himself swim faster. As Ali needed Frazier, Maris needed Mantle and Hatfield needed McCoy, the 2009 version of Michael Phelps, the eight Olympic golds behind him, needed Milorad Cavic to measure himself against at the world championships in Rome.

Phelps outraced his Serbian rival to the wall again in the 100-meter butterfly on Saturday in what is surely the race of the year. Both men went under the record of 50.01 seconds Cavic established on Friday as well as the vaunted 50-second barrier. Phelps touched in 49.82 seconds. Cavic was next in 49.95. The verbal back-and-forth ended in a splash of emotion for Phelps after a week in which the Serbian questioned the legitimacy of Phelps's Olympic victory against him by a hundredth of a second and also dared Phelps to wear the highest-tech swimsuit so he would not have an excuse for defeat should Cavic beat him while wearing one.

He's Back...Michael Phelps clocks personal best in 100m butterfly victory

He's young and he's STILL proving he's the best...GOOD FOR HIM! he's entitled to play and have fun... He's earned it...

US swimming star Michael Phelps won the 100m butterfly in a sizzling 50.48sec, flirting with the world record as he continued his 2009 World Championship build-up at the Canada Cup.

Phelps, who won an unprecedented eight Olympic gold medals at the Beijing Games last August, was just eight-hundredths outside the world record of 50.40 held by compatriot Ian Crocker, in Saturday's competition.

He also improved on his personal best time of 50.58sec, set in winning gold at Beijing.

"I'm really happy," Phelps said. "I had no idea." The 100m fly was one of eight events won by Phelps in Beijing - the only one in which he didn't set a world record.
