Michael Phelps set a world record today in his first event of the U.S. swimming trials, winning the 400-meter individual medley with a time of 4 minutes 5.25 seconds. He beat his own mark of 4:06.22, set at last year’s world championships. His rival, Ryan Lochte, who came in second, also went under the previous mark, finishing in 4:06.08.
