-Ryan Lochte is from Daytona area in Florida
-He swam for University of Florida
-Lochte first qualified for Olympics in 2004 at 19 years old and competed in 200 Individual medley and 4x200 free style relay (silver in 200IM, Gold in the relay)
-Lochte now owns one world record in the 200 meter back stroke
-Lochte is ranked second in the world this year in 4 events, 3 of them behind Michael Phelps
-Lochte will be competing in 3 individual events at Beijing (was very close to four)
-Lochte is always coming in second behind great swimmers such as Phelps and the great backstroker Aaron Peirsol. For the king of second place, it is exciting to see if he is going to win an individual gold at the Olympics
-Lochte is known as the best NCAA male swimmer and holds 4 records; he’s not just good but all rounded
-If it wasn’t for Phelps, it’s arguable, but I think Lochte would be known as the “Best Swimmer”
-o yea… my girlfriend also thinks he’s handsome
