An American Winner.

MELBOURNE, Australia (AP) -- Michael Phelps is turning the world swimming championships into kid's play.

The American earned his third gold medal with another world record Wednesday night, producing the biggest time drop in the 200-meter butterfly in 48 years.
...
His 1.62-second improvement was the largest in the 200 fly since American Mike Troy lowered his own record by 2.6 seconds in 1959. Phelps also became the first man to go under 1:53 in the event.
...
Phelps was going so fast, the red line that tracks world record pace was actually behind him. He cruised home nearly two body lengths and a world away from Wu, who finished in 1:55.13 for China's first medal of the meet.

"He is simply way too fast, way too fast," Wu said through a translator. "I couldn't see him."
