JANEIRO， Aug. 2 (Xinhua) -- Michael Phelps eased into practice in Rio de Janeiro on Tuesday as he prepares to add a final glorious chapter to his glittering career.


The 31-year-old joined his U.S. teammates in their first training session at the Olympic Aquatics Centre on Tuesday afternoon， just hours after arriving in the city for the August 5-21 Games.


After a short stint in the warmup pool， Phelps moved to the main competition venue， starting with freestyle before switching to backstroke and breaststroke.


He dedicated just a few laps of the 50-minute session to butterfly， his only individual event in Rio.


Phelps is the most successful Olympian of all time， having won 22 medals - 18 of them gold.


In Rio， he will compete in the 100m and 200m butterfly and 200m individual medley. He is also expected to be a part of the U.S. relay teams.


In addition to adding to his Olympic medal tally， Phelps is aiming to become only the third athlete to win gold in the same event at four consecutive Olympics， joining Al Oerter (discus) and Carl Lewis (long jump). He could achieve the feat in both the 100m butterfly and 200m individual medley.


BERLIN Nike Air Force 1 Off White UK , Sept. 24 (Xinhua) -- Daniel Didavi's brace was not enough for Stuttgart as Dortmund restored parity meanwhile Leverkusen reaped a neat win over Augsburg to close the fifth round of Bundesliga on Wednesday.


Borussia Dortmund fought back from a 2-0 deficit against Stuttgart within 13 minutes to secure one point on home soil. Juergen Klopp's men controlled the reins against Stuttgart, who defended deep to stage a well-positioned defence. Dortmund lacked in ideas to overcome the bulwark, allowing Stuttgart to focus on fast breaks.


Dortmund created the first dangerous chance through Shinji Kagawa Nike Air Max 90 Off White UK , who rattled the bar with a lob at the half hour mark. However, Stuttgart's cut a better figure in front of Dortmund's goal area after the restart, as Daniel Didavi slotted home the opener following a failed clearance attempt in the 48th minute.


The visitors gained momentum with the surprising lead whereas Dortmund seemed cleary stunned. As a consequence Didavi was able to wrap up his brace in the 68th minute when he capitalized on a black out by Marcel Schmelzer.


Dortmund increased their offensive actions with the 2-0 deficit and their efforts were rewarded five minutes later as Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang rounded Stuttgart goalkeeper Sven Ulreich to reduce the arrears to 2-1.


The hosts were not done with the scoring because Ciro Immobile poked home a free kick inside the box to restore parity with four minutes left. The Italian international nearly grabbed the winner but Antonio Ruediger denied his late effort.
