ATLANTA -- The U.S. swimming team has just one practice left before it leaves for the Rio Olympics.Womens coach David Marsh likes what hes seen at the 12-day Atlanta training camp.Its been a beautiful camp so far, he said. The captains are leading it well. Very relaxed. Theres nothing having to be contrived here to create things.The teams most prominent co-captain, Michael Phelps, was the big draw Saturday for the near-capacity crowd at the Georgia Tech aquatic center.Phelps has said he will retire after his fifth Olympics, and fans started lining up at 5 a.m., over six hours before the team walked onto the deck.Phelps occasionally waved and smiled during the nearly three-hour workout, but mostly kept to himself. Despite doing no interviews with reporters, his influence was felt everywhere.We were talking about it at dinner the other day without him, said womens co-captain Allison Schmitt, a three-time Olympian. People didnt know anything (about swimming before Phelps). It was embarrassment to be a swimmer. No young boy was a swimmer. Now theres probably more guys in the sport than there is girls. He has definitely changed it a lot and he will continue to change it a lot past his retirement.The most decorated athlete in the history of the games, Phelps will try to add to his 18 golds and 22 overall medals before he retires for the second time. He won the 100-meter butterfly, the 200 fly and the 200 individual medley at the U.S. Olympic trials r this month in Nebraska.His personal coach, U.S. mens coach Bob Bowman, said Phelps looks as strong as ever.He never surprises me anymore, Bowman said. As soon as you think youve seen it all, hell give you something else.Bowman declined to say if the 31-year-old will compete in a relay event.I do know, he said. Im not going to tell you.First-time Olympian Chase Kalisz has known Phelps for several years and says its easy to see why television insisted on starting the finals, which begin next Saturday, so late each night.Phelps means big ratings for NBC.Our sport wouldnt be what is without Michael, Kalisz said. You look at all the coverage we get because of him and all the opportunities we get because of Michael. You look back 20 years ago, and it wasnt like that. There wasnt this kind of excitement. I think hes ready to go out the way he wants to go out and close that chapter on his own terms. I think it will be good for him.The team has already adapted to a new sleep schedule, getting in the pool each night at Georgia Tech at 10 p.m. Thats what time the semifinals will begin in Rio. Some finals could end after midnight.Swimmers have grown accustomed to the uncustomary hours over the last few weeks.Its kind of a college kids dream, said Gunnar Bentz, a first-time Olympian. We get to stay up late and we get to sleep in. Its kind of nice, honestly, but training at 10-11 p.m. is a little weird. You get used to it, but I think will work really well in Rio.

One-time Epsom Handicap prospect Marenostro will use his home track at Rosehill as the setting to kick off a campaign aimed at the Group Two Villiers Stakes.Trainer Chris Waller decided to lower his sights to the summer feature after Marenostro performed admirably but failed to make his case to be a Group One horse.The gelding resumes in the November Handicap (1400m) at Rosehill on Saturday and is likely to go to the Listed Festival Stakes at Rosehill (1500m) on December 3 before tackling the Villiers (1600m) at Randwick on December 17.He did a good job last prep but we identified that hes not really an Epsom type of horse so we put him away and had a look at the Villiers, Waller said.Marenostro finished second behind stablemate McCreery in the Listed Rowley Mile in August before being sent for a short spell.He runs well fresh, Waller said.Admittedly theyve been in lesser grade races. Hes up at a higher grade now carrying more weight which makes it a bit harder to win first-up.Waller said Marenostros winning strike rate of more than 30 per cent from 32 starts gave him a good chance on Saturday with stablemate Religify also set to go around in the race.Religify hhas been a beaten favourite at his last two starts but has only missed the placings in one-third of his 21 races.ddddddddddddes going well but the handicapper has got hold of him through his consistency, Waller said.Religify returns to 1400m after being tried over 1550m at Canterbury where Red Excitement, who he meets again on Saturday, had his measure.Hes going back in distance and hes drawn 14 so thats a bit of a negative, Waller said.Hell roll across, see how he ends up. He just needs a bit of luck.American import Closing Bell headlines the stables five runners in the November Topaz (1900m).The Group One-placed entire was bought by Newgate Farm and will have his second run for Waller after finishing sixth in a Listed race at Flemington on Melbourne Cup day over 1800m.We would like to prepare him for a serious attempt at a Group One race at some stage, hopefully in Sydney if not in Queensland over 2000 metres, Waller said.Index Linked, Magicool, Beyond Thankful and Dance Of Heroes give Waller five hopes in the 12-horse Topaz field.
