Phelps looking ahead to 2012 London Olympics
LONDON (AP) Look out London, Michael Phelps is coming to the 2012 Games and he's thinking about adding events to his repertoire.
"I am looking forward to trying some new events, some events I've never really had the opportunity to swim since my schedule is always so crowded," Phelps said Sunday while taking part in the British capital's handover celebrations.
Phelps, fresh from the Beijing Olympics where he won a record eight gold medals, said he's never competed in a backstroke event at a major international meet or in the 100-meter freestyle.
