OMAHA, Nebraska June 25. SWIMMING World Radio introduces a new feature for its Total Access subscribers allowing them to listen to brief comments by athletes exiting the pool while on their way to the warm down pool during the USA Swimming Trials.
Below is a link to what will be the first of many…
Over the past two years, Ryan Lochte has become the Big Dog in the sport,
even taking a bite out of the perceived invincibility of Michael Phelps.
Lochte, though, is not banking on recent history to get the job done at the
2012 Olympic Trials. He knows he'll have to flourish when it matters most,
and his first chance to shine will come in a duel with Phelps in the final
of the 400 individual medley.
