Lochte finishes second in the 200 free; qualifies for second and third Olympic events

Ryan was touched out by Phelps by .05.  Their times, 1:45.70 and 1:45.75, were pretty slow for them and for this event, more than a second slower than their times at the world championships last year in Shanghai.

Ricky Berens and Conor Dwyer finished 3rd and 4th and qualified for the 4 x 200 free relay.  Matt McLean and Charlie Houchin finished 5th and 6th and will also make the team for the relay.

Here is the medal ceremony, which was so much fun to watch live (almost as much fun as Matt Grevers' medal ceremony)
