Hey America, an Olympic silver medal is actually awesome.
Last night, when Ryan Lochte was passed by France’s Yannick Agnel in the final length of the men’s 400 freestyle relay, it wasn’t because Lochte had choked. Nor was it because Lochte swam poorly, missed a wall, inhaled water, forgot to warm up, hit the lane line, cramped, was thinking of a failed math test from 3rd grade, or stopped trying. Yannick Agnel was just that fast. You too would get passed against someone swimming a 46.7. Even Phelps. Even Adrian. Yannick Agnel swam a superb time when the time was right, and Ryan Lochte happened to be the unlucky one swimming in the lane next to him.

1000% agree with this article. So refreshing for this writer to get it. I saw this somewhere and it is so true, "Ryan needs to ignore the casual olympic viewer, uneducated swim fans, NBC media (Rowdy!!!) and the mainstream media in general."
becasue the don't know what the hell they are talking about!
