Atlanta: The New Ann Arbor?

Posted May 5, 2007 at 10:39 pm by Carrie in Club Wolverine owns us,Doing the right thing,Press Screw-Ups,Things that make you go 'hmmm'

Okay, first he’s called “crack” and then they mess up his training city?  What the hell is wrong with Spanish journalists? 

Baltimore’s “crack” will travel to Europe at the beginning of July to take part in the first of the three competitions of Mare Nostrum: Canet Roussillon (June 9-10).Then, Michael Phelps will travel to Barcelona to take part in the Spanish competition.

Before returning to Atlanta, where he currently practices under orders of coach Bob Bowman, the American swimmer will finish the Mare Nostrum Tour participating in the International Swimming Meeting (June 16-17), in Monaco.

      They didn’t refer to it anyway. This little snippet was the article. If you can call it that.

      what’s up with the ATL?

      is he training at a specific facility while Bowman is in Ace Deuce?

      hahaha. it is a typo, hope! People in this world fail to fact check a lot before posting things. I’m pretty sure he is going back to A2 after the meet to train.
