Ryan Lochte wins Bronze in 200m Back and Silver in 200m IM

The meet didn't finish the way Ryan hoped, but he won medals in both of his final events - Bronze in the 200m back and Silver in the 200m IM.  I will post more thoughts after watching the NBC broadcast.

Here is an article by Beth Harris of AP with post-race comments from Ryan and his coach Gregg Troy:

Bronze in the 200m back (Gold to Tyler Clary and Silver to Ryosuke Irie)  I've enjoyed watching Tyler Clary's progress over the last four years.  Congrats to him on winning the Gold.


Silver in the 200m IM (Gold to Michael Phelps and Bronze to Lazslo Cseh)  Congrats to Michael Phelps for winning the Gold.  I'm happy for Cseh that he didn't walk away empty handed.
