Velimir Stjepanovic, Dubai’s Olympic swimming hopeful, returned today from the World Championships in Shanghai with a clear plan for next year’s London Games.
The 17-year-old Serbian is now going to focus on the 200 metre butterfly and 400 metre freestyle after two encouraging performances in the qualifying heats at the Oriental Sports Centre against the best in his sport.
He just missed out on a semi-final place for the 200m butterfly by 0.3 seconds with a time of 1.57.40, which was just 0.8 seconds behind the great American Michael Phelps, who went on to win the event.
