RIO DE JANEIRO -- When Singapores Joseph Schooling looked up at the giant scoreboard after touching the wall in the mens 100-meter butterfly Friday night, he celebrated his win by punching his fist in the water, and then headed over to Michael Phelps.Schooling reached two rare feats -- he was one of the few to actually beat Phelps, and he secured the first Olympic gold medal win for his country.And if you wondered why the two swimmers seemed to have somewhat of a rapport after the race beyond simple sportsmanship, its because they both first met many years ago.Flashback to 2008Phelps and Schooling reportedly first met in 2008, when Team USA held a training camp in Singapore before the Beijing Olympics. Schooling was just 13, and apparently awestruck.They came to the country club that I trained at, Schooling told The Guardian. Everyone just rushed up and was like, Its Michael Phelps! Its Michael Phelps! and I really wanted a picture.Above is that photo. Schooling also told the newspaper and reporters after his Friday win that he would not be where he was today without meeting Phelps.If it wasnt for Michael, I dont think I could have gotten to this point. I wanted to be like him as a kid, Schooling told reporters. I think a lot of this is because of Michael. He is the reason why I wanted to be a better swimmer.Back to the presentHere are Phelps (31) and Schooling (now 21) again, with their medals: Jay Novacek Cowboys Jersey . SIMONS ISLAND, Ga.

INDIANAPOLIS -- Michael Andretti smiles like a kid when you ask whats different in 2013. Hes not giving away the trade secrets that have turned his team from competitive in 2012 to dominant so far in 2013. He just wants to savour the moment and keep chugging along. "I just think were getting more experience, more confidence all the time," Andretti said after another successful practice at Indianapolis Motor Speedway. "When you get more experience and get more confidence, you get better results." Andrettis team wasnt exactly a pushover before. Last year, Ryan Hunter-Reay won four times and dethroned three-time defending series champion Dario Franchitti, James Hinchcliffe had five top-five finishes in 15 starts in Dania Patricks old car and Marco, Michaels son, closed out the season with three top-10s in the last seven races. Andretti Autosport saw those results as a good start. This season, those same drivers have combined to win three of the first four IndyCar races and take three of the top six spots in the points standings, and they have simply dominated the early practice rounds at Indy. On Sunday, the five Andretti Autosport drivers hoping to qualify for the May 26 race posted fast laps that ranked among the six fastest. On Tuesday, during the busiest practice session yet, Hinchcliffe grabbed the top spot early in the day with a fast lap of 224. 210 mph. What exactly changed during the off-season? Michael made some personnel moves that he declined to talk about, Hinchcliffe had a full off-season to work with his team and Marco went to work with a driving coach to shore up his skills on road and street courses. The payoff has been nothing short of remarkable for a team with two 500 titles and three points championships under Michaels stewardship. Marco said his coach told him he was relying primarily on his natural talent -- and it was causing him problems he could have avoided. "I learned how to fight and I learned some fundamental things about how to drive on streets. The biggest thing was I learned how to fight," Marco saaid.dddddddddddd Hinchcliffe has earned the first two wins of his career and will be one of the favourites for the May 26 Indianapolis 500. Heavyweight owners Roger Penske and Chip Gansassi are still looking for their first wins of the season. The 26-year-old Andretti appears to have mastered those street and road course demons with two third-place finishes and two sevenths in four races -- none on ovals -- and is off to the best start of his career. Marco trails Japanese driver Takuma Sato by only 13 points at the top of the standings. Hunter-Reay is back in the title hunt, newcomer E.J. Viso is driving well and even the newest member of the team -- Colombias Carlos Munoz -- has excelled at Indy. The Firestone Indy Lights leader needed less than 12 hours of time on the Brickyard to go from untested rookie to the top speed of Sundays speed chart. "I still need to prove myself," Munoz said. "We have to continue to work on our practice checklist and figure out what is going to work best for the team." Thats not all. After Kurt Busch took Hunter-Reays car out for a test last week and turned laps at more than 219 mph, speculation swirled about the possibility of the 2004 Cup champion attempting "The Double" in one of Andrettis cars. It will have to wait till next year because Busch wants to run a couple of other IndyCar ovals before giving this tricky 2.5-mile track a whirl. The future looks bright, too, as Andretti grooms 18-year-old American Zach Veach for an IndyCar career. The budding star is eighth in points in the Lights series this season. With things going so well, the obvious question is whats next? The end of the Andretti Curse? At Andretti headquarters, there are always reasons for caution. "A lot can happen throughout the month," said Marco Andretti, who was the 500 runner-up in 2006 and still hasnt been to Victory Lane at the 2.5-mile Brickyard. "Its a very humbling business. As soon as you think things are going really well, you can roll out the next day and everythings different." ' ' '
