Swimming:Germany's Paul Biedermann set a world record and beat twice champion Michael Phelps to win the 200 metres freestyle final at the world championships today.
Biedermann, who had broken the world record to take gold in Sunday's 400 freestyle, swam one minute 42 seconds to beat Phelps' Beijing Olympic mark of 1:42.96.
"For the moment it is just like a dream. It's such an amazing feeling. I'm so fine," he said.
Asked if he had thought he could beat Olympic champion Phelps, who won the world title in 2005 and 2007, Biedermann said: "Maybe in two or three years, not now."
Second-placed Phelps, who finished in 1:43.22, said: "Theoretically that was a pretty good swim for me. Three tenths off my best time after taking sixth months off. I'm not happy but I know I didn't train much this year."
Russia's Danila Izotov took bronze.
