Michael Phelps dominates the 200-meter butterfly at the U S Olympic Trials to stay on track for seven golds, matching Mark Spitz’s record. Spitz praised Phelps and the two shared a rare moment at the awards ceremony. Phelps, winner of the 400 IM and 200 free, eyes up to nine potential races as he seeks to eclipse Spitz.
