In the first semifinal of the 200 IM Michael Phelps went into the first wall with a lead and then just built on it. He was able to cruise into the finish and won the first semifinal in 1:57.61, the third best in the world this year.
World record holder Ryan Lochte then stepped up into the second semifinal. He put up the fastest time of the morning and then led his heat into the first turn as well. Lochte finished nearly a second ahead of Phelps, posting a 1:56.71, the second best time in the world this year, bumping Phelps to fourth.
Fellow NBAC swimmer David Nolan swam on Phelps’ heels with a 1:58.16 for the third seed overall.
