Worldamazingrecords.com - Michael Phelps swim the world's fastest 100-meter butterfly of the year Friday night, and he thought he could have done even better.
Phelps finished in 51.04 seconds at the Mutual of Omaha Swimvitational, beating world record-holder Ian Crocker's previous 2008 best of 51.32, which Crocker recorded in Austin, Texas, in March.
"I really wanted to break 51 in the 100 fly, but my finish kind of wasn't too good," Phelps said. "I kind of kissed the wall. It's really not how you're supposed to finish. Hopefully it's something I can work on in the next two weeks."
Phelps, who was 0.64 seconds off Crocker's world record of 50.40, said he might have gone under 51 if he had glided into the wall rather than taking a half-stroke at the finish.
"It's all a learning experience," he said. "I'd rather have it here than in the next two months."
