Thomas<\/p>\n<p>ATHENS, Greece August 15. IT was back to business this morning for world record-holder Michael Phelps after his bronze medal swim in the 4 x 100 freestyle relay yesterday. The bullet from Baltimore took his prelim swim in the 200m butterfly very easy, going out in 56.92 and coming home in 1:00.44 to take the final heat. <\/p>\n<p>Phelps said after his race that the US team was disappointed with the third placing. \u201cIt took a lot out of us emotionally, it was difficult as a team, very hard,\u201d he said. Phelps is keen to use the disappointment as a motivator for his two races \u2013 the final of the 200 free and this semi-final. \u201cWe fell off the horse last night.  We have to get back on and get rolling again.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Takashi Yamamoto, the \u201903 World Champs silver medalist behind Phelps, took the previous heat in the same time, 1:57.36. He was happy with winning his heat and said he felt good.  <\/p>\n<p>Pawel Korzeniowski of Poland was next fastest in 1:57.45 followed by 2000 Olympic gold medalist, American Tom Malchow (1:57.75). Malchow said after his race he was still having trouble with the damaged tendon in his shoulder. \u201cIt\u2019s a factor, I can\u2019t fix it but hopefully I can get around it and use my experience,\u201d he said. <\/p>\n<p>Other top qualifiers include China\u2019s Wu Peng (1:57.96), the Aussie bronze medalist from Sydney, Justin Norris (1:58.05), then a group of three: 33-year-old French veteran Franck Esposito, Russian Anatoli Poliakov and Romanian Ioan Gherghel, who all qualified with 1:58.12. <\/p>\n<p><b><br \/>\nMen 200m Butterfly Heats<\/b><\/p>\n<p> Record Splits Name
