Swimming records are being broken in almost every race.

In a semifinal heat of the 100m freestyle, Alain Bernard (France) finished 47.20, breaking the world record of 47.24 set by Eamon Sullivan (Australia) earlier in the week.

It was followed by the 2nd semifinal, in which Sullivan took back the world record with a 47.05.

Federica Pellegrini (Italy) lowered the world record she set a day earlier in the 200m freestyle with a 1:54.82.

All of Phelps wins so far have been single or team world records.
