After Lochte “blew him out” in their first race for gold, Phelps was obviously shaken. I didn’t know if he’d recover, he hadn’t been in a position like that in many years. But he did answer back, and loudly so! He’s the best of the best!

Many have only one medal available to them while others can enter multiple events in their field. LeBron may be a greater athlete than Phelps but he would be about 100 years old by the time he won 20 medals.

I’m stubborn and am still partial to Jesse Owens for two reasons. The way he dominated his opponents in that time period and courageously standing up to the pressure of winning right in the belly of Nazi Germany in 1936,

As a swimmer, I can tell you that you aren’t the first, won’t be the last writer who confused the two in print. I’ve lost count of the times I’ve even seen “individual” and “relay” used in combination which of course describes an event that doesn’t exist! ;)

Thanks for pointing that out Eddie, and keep reading :) !

You need to remove the word “individual” from your very first sentence. Nothing individual about the medley relay. The 400 *individual medley* was the race he placed fourth in at the beginning of the games.

Have to give him props for this even though I’m Team Lochte.
