Swimming: Phelps out of form

Swimmer Michael Phelps said he was "not in the best shape" after finishing third in the short course 100 metres medley final at a World Cup meeting in Stockholm yesterday.

American Phelps, who won a record eight Olympic gold medals last year, ended a disappointing day by clocking 52.14sec, 0.37sec behind South African winner Gerhard Zandberg.
