Swimming legend Michael Phelps failed to qualify for the final in two out the three races he contested in the fourth leg of the short-course World Cup in Stockholm.
The American, competing for the first time since the Rome World Championships in July, was 16th fastest in the hundred freestyle and disqualified in the 100 backstroke heats for an overlong push-off.
Phelps did make the final of the 100m individual medley, but only as the seventh-fastest qualifier.
The Stockholm meeting was also the first time that Phelps has taken part in a short-course event since 2006 and the first time in Europe since 2001, also in Stockholm.
He is entered for five races in Sweden and will go on to compete in Berlin at the weekend.
