迈克尔菲尔普斯轻松夺冠之前结束了在100米自由泳上令人失望，最后在巴黎公开赛第一天200米蝶泳。星期天，他赢得了200米个人混合泳，并表示他需要更多的练习。

PARIS (AP) - Michael Phelps says he needs to train harder after a weekend of mixed results at the Paris Open.

The 14-time Olympic gold medalist won two races in Paris, including Sunday's 200-meter medley, but struggled in freestyle events and lost two finals.

"Am I upset? Yes. Very," Phelps said. "When I'm upset, I think it's the best time for me to try and use that as a motivation."

Phelps won the 200 medley in 1 minute, 58.95 seconds ahead of fellow American Patrick Todd, who clocked 2:00.81. Italy's Federico Turrini finished third in 2:02.31.

Phelps, who was third in the 200 freestyle earlier Sunday, said training is the key to rediscovering his best form.

"Hopefully it's a wake-up call, if it's not then I have to change a lot," he said. "I blame myself. You've got to be responsible for your own action."

Phelps expected to improve after the Charlotte UltraSwim last month but was disappointed by his times.

"It's kind of the same times that I went in Charlotte," he said. "I'm clearly disappointed, but it's my own fault. I know I didn't do the training when I needed to do it at the right time."

In the 200 freestyle, Phelps had a good start but quickly faded away, touching in 1:47.54. France's Yannick Agnel won with a new national record of 1:46.30, and Sebastiaan Verschuren of the Netherlands finished second in 1:46.97.

Fresh from three weeks of training in Colorado, Phelps also won the 200 butterfly in Paris and came last in the 100 freestyle on Saturday.

"The 200 fly I thought I had done better training (after Charlotte) but clearly I have not," Phelps said. "I'm the only one who can fix it."

Phelps will stay in France next week to train in Vichy, where the American swimming team will have a training camp before the London Olympics in 2012.

Phelps will try to be ready for the American trials in August, which will determine the roster for the Pan Pacific Championships in Irvine, California, later that month.

The 18-year-old Agnel, who finished second in the 100 freestyle, claimed the biggest win of his career.

"This is so great," Agnel said about beating Phelps. "I have to realize what I did. But it's also true that Michael was not really fit. He will be ready when it really matters."

Asked about a potential rivalry with the promising Agnel in the coming years, Phelps said: "Everybody is going to be a rival at this point.

"I'm way behind and I'm the one who needs to catch up with them."

Among Sunday's winners, world and Olympic champion Cesar Cielo of Brazil posted a season's best 21.55 to claim the 50 freestyle ahead of Frenchmen Fabien Gilot and Frederick Bousquet.

迈克尔菲尔普斯说他需要训练后，在巴黎公开赛的结果好坏参半周末更难。

菲尔普斯有望提高后，夏洛特UltraSwim上个月，但被他那个时代失望。

“这是我在夏洛特的同一时间去了，“他说。 “我清楚地感到失望，但它是我自己的错。我知道我没有做训练时，我需要做的是在合适的时间。 “

在200米自由泳，菲尔普斯有一个良好的开端，但很快消失，在1:47.54感人。法国的扬妮克阿涅尔赢得了一个新的1:46.30的全国纪录，并Sebastiaan ，荷兰Verschuren汇报工作完成了1:46.97秒。

从3个星期在科罗拉多训练，菲尔普斯也赢得了新鲜巴黎排在200米蝶泳和100米自由泳的最后一个星期六。

现年18岁的阿涅尔，谁完成了100米自由泳第二，声称他职业生涯最大的胜利。

“这是如此之大， “阿涅尔说，大约击败菲尔普斯。 “我意识到我所做的一切。但它也确实没有真正适合迈克尔。他将准备时，真正重要的。 “
