Swimming: Ryan Lochte's Olympic Career Likely Over After Finishing 7th in 200 Individual Medley

News 18  

Ryan Lochte‘s Olympic career is apparently over. In other events, Ryan Murphy romped to victory in the 200 backstroke, adding to his triumph in the 100 back, while Abby Weitzel won the 100 freestyle after defending Olympic champion Simone Manuel shockingly failed to advance from the semifinals the previous night. Lilly King also booked a second event in Tokyo, though she didn’t tough the wall first. Weitzell’s winning time in the 100 free was 53.53, with Erika Brown taking the second individual spot for Tokyo in 53.59. Hinds became the first Black swimmer to make the Olympic team, an especially poignant moment in light of Manuel’s struggles with overtraining syndrome.
