Germany's Paul Biedermann took the gold medal and world record away from Olympic champion Michael Phelps at the 200m freestyle at the world swimming championships here on Tuesday. Biedermann clocked one minute 42 seconds to beat Phelps' Beijing Olympic mark of 1:42.96.
The American, 1.22 seconds slower, had to settle for a silver, with Russian Danila Izotov third in 1:43.90.
"The suits make a difference," said Biedermann, who was virtually unknown before the worlds.

"I hope there will be a time when I can beat Michael Phelps without these suits," the German added.
Biedermann opened another night of record breaking. Four more world marks were rewritten, raising the total to 15 through the first three days of an eight-day meet.
Britain's Gemma Spofforth set the world record to win the 100m backstroke, while Italy's Federica Pellegrini electrified the home crowd with her second world record of the championships in a semifinal heat of the 200 freestyle.
South African Cameron van der Burgh bettered the 50m breaststroke world standard in the semifinals.
