Michael Phelps withdrew from the 100-meter freestyle at the U.S. national championships Friday because of a sore neck.

The 14-time Olympic gold medalist was supposed to swim in the last morning heat, but he was still in pain after waking up a day earlier with a kink on the left side of his neck.

"It was worse this morning," he said.
