World-record holder. Clutch performer. And while time ran out on his latest Olympic pursuit, the memories he created and impact he had will not fade. What a talent and what guts it took to come back. All the best to him and his family! Ryan Lochte should continue swimming as long as he wants to. I applaud him For giving his all and enjoying the process. Long swim Ryan Lochte! I will never forget that he signed autographs for everyone who wanted one in Indianapolis.
He may have his faults but he achieved success that only a few will ever accomplish. All the best to him and his family. He was so determined to beat the odds. Everyone has missteps in life and Ryan has more than made us for his and should be proud of his accomplishments. I wish the best to him and his family in the future. I know there will be great things ahead in his next chapter. On the other hand all bathrooms in the Olympics area are now safe.?
Thanks Ryan for the great accomplishments you helped the USA to obtain. I was rooting for Lochte. He was in Phelps shadows and such amazing competitor that helped changed the sport. What an incredibly misguided story. Lochte has had his deservedmoments of fame and has mishandled it repeatedly—even after his most recent story of personal redemption, marriage and fatherhood, he had more personal issues.
Maybe out of the spotlight he can pull his life together and I hope he does. Anyone who wants to should be able to compete if they r willing to train and achieve the difficult time standard. He earned his spot. It was not just given to him!!! The only thing misguided is your reply. If not for being in the same era as Phelps that legendary status would be even greater. His actions in Rio were wrong as was his account.
Brazil was ridiculously unfair and criminal themselves. Lochte stands as a top Olympic medalist number 12 of all Olympians. That was evident on the deck. After being the last one out of the pool, he walked behind the starting blocks and hugged his father. He moved on to kiss wife, Kayla, and hold his red, white and blue-clad daughter, Liv. Son Caiden was there, too.
He got beat by year-old Michael Andrew and year-old Chase Kalisz. Olympic champion backstroker Ryan Murphy first met Lochte as a year-old at a meet in Jacksonville, Florida. He was in the lane next to the University of Florida star for the backstroke heats. Instead, he is focused on making his way to his fifth Olympics.
He is also the current world record holder in the individual medley. Even with his impressive resume it will be a battle for the seasoned swimmer during the final wave of competitions scheduled from June In the free he is seeded No.
If Lochte, 36, qualifies he will be the oldest male swimmer ever to represent the United States at the Olympics. When asked about his age at a press conference Friday, Lochte just smiled and said, "I get tired a lot easier. As much as Lochte is known for swimming, his antics outside of the pool have been well documented. Lochte was banned from competitive swimming for 10 months after he vandalized a gas station with three other American swimmers during the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.
He used to hold the short course world records in the m IM, m backstroke and m IM. Lochte has won 62 medals in the world championship from The includes 36 gold medals. Twitter: RyanLochte. Instagram: ryanlochte. Contact Christian Ortega at cortega usatoday.
