Swimmers to Watch
Michael Phelps
After a disappointing opening race that left him with a fourth-place finish, Michael Phelps will once again take to the pool on Day 2 of the Games to prove that he is still as good as he was four years ago.
The event will be the 4x100-meter freestyle relay, and although the Americans are favored to win, they will have a tough task beating out the Australian squad that boasts two of the best swimmers in the world.
A win for Team USA will take Phelps one step closer toward his goal of being the most-decorated Olympian in the history of the Games.
Ryan Lochte
Ryan Lochte may finally be getting out of Phelps' huge shadow after blowing out the 14-time gold medalist in the 400-meter individual medley. The American swimmer not named Phelps was able to take home the first gold medal for the U.S. in these games.
But his winning ways will have to continue if Lochte wants to truly take the spotlight from his teammate. Another gold medal in an individual event will be a step in the right direction.
Lochte will take part in the men's 200-meter freestyle, and after his Day 1 performance, the 27-year-old should be favored. Who knows, if he can capture another gold, maybe Lochte will flash the same shiny grill he displayed on Saturday.
Missy Franklin
The 17-year-old phenom has already captured her first medal in the Olympics, via a team event, but now Franklin will get in the pool looking to win her first individual medal.
And there's no doubt she's hoping it's gold.
Franklin will be competing in the 100-meter backstroke in her second of seven total events, which is a record for an American woman.
This young lady has already shown flashes of brilliance after getting her team out to a solid lead early in the 400-meter freestyle relay. Franklin was tearing through the water at a feverish pace and it certainly left her fans desperately wanting to see her finish a race.
If she can get out to a similar lead like the one she had in Saturday's race and finish strong on Sunday, Franklin will no doubt be wearing some gold hardware around her neck by day's end.
