PHOENIX – Last week we wanted to know Which swimmer you missed the most at the short course world championships? The results were very interesting! Michael Phelps was the athlete voters wanted to see the most with 39%. Sun Yang was right behind Phelps with 34% followed by Nathan Adrian, Missy Franklin and James Magnussen. Well Michael Phelps will be back in action before we know it but I agree it would have been fun to see him swim another major international meet.
