Michael Phelps said he is looking to swim some new events, but is being very secrative about it. Anyone want to throw out a guess as to what those events are? I would consider the following "his" events: 200 free, 200 IM, 400 IM, 100 fly, 200 fly, 200 back, and maybe the 100 free.
My guess is the 400 free and maybe the 50 free or 100 back. I can't see him becoming a breaststroker. So that leaves the shorter back race and free.
Anyone else?

I would place a bet that one of the new events will be the 400m free. His 400m IM demonstrates he's well suited to that distance and I strongly suspect that he'd like to have another go against Thorpe on his home turf. Thorpe has said he's going to move to the shorter events but I don't know that he'll just let Phelps take over the 400.
