Phelps em destaque nos Olímpicos de Inverno

Michael Phelps está em Vancouver para apoiar a sua selecção de hóquei em gelo que aspira obter uma das 3 medalhas olímpicas. Nos jornais diários e imprensa on-line de ontem saíram muitas traduções ou mal feitas ou incompletas das suas declarações, pelo que de seguida as apresento na íntegra em inglês.

"Breaststroke is out of the question, the mile (1500m) is safe, the 400m free is safe, the 800m free is safe, the 400IM maybe, but probably not. The 200IM is coming back, there will be a couple of other events. I may cancel some events though"

"I told myself I will not swim over the age of 30, and I will not swim over the age of 30."

"Swimming is going to be swimming again, it's not going to be who is wearing what suit. Being able to race some of the guys when we're all wearing the same suits will be interesting. You're really going to be able to see who wants to work and who wants to make sure who stays on top."
