World Swimming Championships

Eighteen-year-old Michael Phelps of the United States bettered his own world record in the men's 200 metres butterfly semi-final on Day 10 of the 10th Fina World Swimming Championships 2003, at Palau Sant Jordi, Barcelona, on Tuesday.

"It didn't feel as hard as the other ones," said Phelps. "I'm not going to say it felt easy, but I definitely felt good out there. I hadn't had a best time in that event in two years.

"Goal completed."
