Disappointment for Ryan Lochte: How Does He Compare to Michael Phelps All-Time?
Looking to pull off one of the most difficult one-day feats ever in Olympic swimming, Ryan Lochte could not top the podium in both the 200-meter backstroke and 200-meter individual medley.
Lochte entered the favorite in both events, but lost to American teammate Tyler Clary in the 200-meter backstroke, taking bronze.
Then, just 25 minutes later, it was head-to-head with rival Michael Phelps in the 200 IM. Looking tired, Lochte could not take gold in that event, either.
