SHANGHAI, China -- Michael Phelps got through the preliminaries of the 200-metre butterfly at the world championships on Tuesday, going just fast enough while conserving energy for a big night ahead. wholesale nfl jerseys . Phelps, the world record holder, won his heat in one minute 56.77 seconds, putting him 11th among the 16 swimmers who reached the semifinals. The third night of competition at the Oriental Sports Center will be Phelps busiest yet. Hell face Germanys Paul Biedermann, American teammate Ryan Lochte and Park Tae-hwan of South Korea in the 200 freestyle final before swimming the semifinals of the fly. "I just wanted to make it back and thats all I really needed to do," Phelps said. "The real thing is going to be the first event tonight. If Im able to come up for that and set up something good for a final tomorrow, thats all I can really ask for." With his mother Debbie, sister Hilary Phelps and girlfriend Nicole Johnson urging him on from the stands, Phelps overtook Chinas Wu Peng in the final metres of their heat. Wu, who has beaten Phelps twice this year on his home turf in the United States, touched in 1:56.98 to grab the 15th spot for the semifinal. "Fifteenth was dangerous," Wu said. "The last 50 I was a little bit slow." Dinko Jukic of Austria had the fastest time of 1:55.26, followed by Leonardo de Deus of Brazil in 1:55.55. Phelps wasnt even the top American. Teammate Scott Clary qualified fourth. "It will be a lot better tonight," Clary said. "I had a few mistakes here and there and theres definitely a lot left in my legs." In the mens 800 free, Victorias Ryan Cochrane, the bronze medallist in 2009, qualified third. "The prelims were a little harder than I expected," Cochrane said. "But I did what I had to and I think Ill be really competitive tonight. Ive had my best year of training and its very encouraging." Chinas Sun Yang eas fastest qualifier at 7:45.29. Pal Joensen of the Faroe Islands was second at 7:45.55. Joensen represents the Danish territory of 50,000 people located halfway between the United Kingdom and Iceland. "Now maybe I have a shot at the medals. Feels fantastic," said Joensen, last years 1,500 silver medallist at the European championships. "I hope I keep my head cool tomorrow. I havent been to so many meets, just been training hard." Ous Mellouli of Tunisia, the silver medallist in Rome, was fifth. Americans Peter Vanderkaay and Chad La Tourette also made the final. World record holder Zhang Lin of China wont defend the title he won two years ago because team officials said hes out of shape. He has struggled in recent months, and failed to win an individual gold at last years Asian Games. In the first event of the morning prelims, Brazils Felipe Franca Da Silva qualified fastest in the 50 breaststroke at 27.19 seconds. Two Slovenians, Matjaz Markic and Damir Dugonjic, were second and third, followed by American Mark Gangloff. Alexander Dale Oen of Norway, who won the 100 breaststroke on Monday, qualified fifth for the non-Olympic event. Allison Schmitt of the United States was the fastest qualifier in the 200 freestyle at 1:56.66. Federica Pellegrini of Italy, the defending champion and world record holder, was second at 1:56.87. "I didnt want to make the same mistake from Rome when I went too fast in the morning," said Pellegrini, the 400 free champion in Shanghai. "This will be a much tougher race than the 400. Everyone is going to go out very fast." Bronte Barratt of Australia qualified third. Montreals Barbara Jardin qualified 12th. "Im really happy with the race," Jardin said. "My goal was to get a fast start, set the stroke and see what I could do from there." Samantha Cheverton of Pointe-Claire, Que., was 18th and didnt advance. No world records have been set through the first two days of the eight-day meet, extending the drought since the high-tech bodysuits were banned 1 1/2 years ago. Two years ago in Rome, 43 world records were set at the height of the suit frenzy. jerseys from china . -- Miguel Cabrera became the 15th player to win baseballs Triple Crown on Wednesday night, the reluctant superstar thrust into the spotlight after joining an elite list that includes Mickey Mantle, Ted Williams and Lou Gehrig. cheap jerseys .

LONDON -- Arsenal midfielder Jack Wilshere was charged by the English Football Association on Tuesday for making an abusive gesture toward Manchester City fans during a Premier League match. Television cameras spotted the England international raising his middle finger in the direction of City supporters in the 69th minute of Saturdays game at Etihad Stadium, which Arsenal lost 6-3. The incident wasnt seen by match officials but the FA has charged Wilshere retrospectively "with making an offensive and/or insulting and/or abusive gesture" after a three-man panel studied video footage. "For an FA charge to follow, all thrree panel members must agree it is a sending-off offence," the governing body said in a statement. wholesale jerseys. "In this instance, the panel were unanimous." Wilshere has until Wednesday to respond to the charge. He is facing a one-match ban, the punishment Liverpool striker Luis Suarez received for the same offence during a league game at Fulham in December 2011. Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger said after the City match that he didnt see Wilsheres gesture but added "if he did it, we will have to accept it." Arsenal has a two-point lead at the top of the Premier League over Liverpool and Chelsea. cheap jerseys ' ' '
