Phelps Breezes Into 200 Free Semifinals

“I still have a lot to go,” Peirsol said. “It was a good race. We’re all just trying to get into the semifinals. There will be a lot faster swimming tonight. It’s kind of a backstroke thing. No one wants to try too hard in the morning.”

Peirsol was at the center of controversy in Athens. After an easy win in the 200 back, he was disqualified for an illegal turn. The decision was overturned a half-hour later, giving him back the gold medal.

“I just caused too much drama last time,” Peirsol quipped.
