Just 15 years old, the world paid a little bit of attention to him as he sat in his chair behind the blocks waiting to swim in the biggest race of his life.<\/p>\n<p>But by the time the race had finished, he was being pegged as one of the future stars of the sport, a title he would claim the very next year with a world record in the 200 fly.<\/p>\n<p>In the Sydney Olympics, Phelps looked like he was completely out of the medal picture after 100 meters. Sitting in eighth place halfway through the race, Phelps started to put on a super charge, passing three people in the final 50 meters. If there were about 10 more meters to swim, Phelps might have had his first Olympic medal.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PHOENIX, Arizona, November 13.
