Can't wait for this race!! To add to the hype, here's a comprehensive history of the Phelps/Lochte rivalry in the 200 IM, dating back to Athens 2004. Ryan has always been so close but never winning until last year when Phelps did not swim.
This race is the highlight of Nationals for me. I fell in love with swimming watching these two battle it out in the 400 IM at the 2008 Olympic trials.
If you are a fan of Ryan and Michael Phelps, you will enjoy this article, written by David Rieder:
