CHICAGO: Michael Phelps earned himself a rest then a sixth title in the 4x100m medley relay, capping off a busy week at the US swimming nationals on Saturday.
Phelps had originally planned to swim in 10 events in Indianapolis but got a rare morning off, pulling out of the 200 individual medley having cut a deal with coach Bob Bowman.
"The only reason I'm not swimming is I made a deal with Bob," Phelps told local television.
"It's weird not being in events I'm use to being in, but it's fun to be able to sit here and kick back and relax."
He later helped Club Wolverine to victory in the 4x100 medley relay, bringing his five-day total to six titles, four individual and two relays.
