Live/highlights on BBC Two, Red Button and BBC Sport website
Germany's Paul Biedermann beat Michael Phelps in the men's 200m freestyle final to win gold - obliterating the American's world record in the process.
Biedermann led from the second turn and finished in one minute 42.00 seconds beating Phelps' record by 0.96.
The 22-year-old adds the 200m title and record to the 400m title and world best he achieved on Monday.
Phelps, who touched home in 1:43.22, suffered his first major individual loss in four years.
That occurred at the 2005 World Championships when Ian Crocker beat him in the final of the 100m butterfly.

606: DEBATE
|
The 24-year-old blamed his defeat to Biedermann partly down to lack of training.
"Theoretically that was a pretty good swim for me," said the American.
"Three tenths off my best time after taking sixth months off. I'm not happy but I know I didn't train much this year."
The German champion was overjoyed with his sensational win.
"For the moment it is just like a dream," he said. "It's such an amazing feeling. I'm so fine."
