Swimming: Joseph Schooling preparing to return to US to train, believes he's on right track for Olympic defence

SINGAPORE - Joseph Schooling may not have raced since the SEA Games in December - the longest he has gone without competing - but the 25-year-old Olympic champion is not worried about the lack of competition practice.

Schooling told The Straits Times in a recent interview: "(Not racing) is tough on one hand, but on the other hand I needed to change a lot of things and this has really given me the time to do those things.
