Coverage from the World Aquatics Championships. The retirement of the legendary Michael Phelps means the men's 200m butterfly is wide open.

Helen Skelton presents coverage from the World Aquatics Championships in Budapest, Hungary.

American superstar Katie Ledecky began these Championships with nine world titles and is hoping to add to that tally in the 200m freestyle.

Meanwhile, the retirement of the legendary Michael Phelps means the men's 200m butterfly - an event Phelps dominated - is intriguingly posed. The Hungarian crowd will roar on Laszlo Cseh and Tamas Kenderesi, with the latter having won Olympic bronze in this discipline last summer. But another name to watch out for is South Africa's Chad Le Clos, who won the 200m butterfly at London 2012 but was bitterly disappointed to finish fourth at the 2016 Games in Rio.

Expert analysis is provided by double Olympic champion Rebecca Adlington and six-time world champion Mark Foster.
