Ryan Lochte missed making the U.S. Olympic team for the first time in five Olympic cycles. The four-time Olympian was in contention to make 5th Olympic team.
When my son was 4 and we were at UltraSwim, Lochte gave my son one of his race medals because (he said) he liked my son’s skull-patterned shirt. Made my kid’s day. Now he’s a teenage swimmer. Nice when the good batons get passed.
