Brayden Franklin who?

[@rbishop95]

Man, I miss this rivalry. As everyone on this channel has said, Ryan Lochte is an incredible swimmer. Absolutely generational talent. Third most Olympic medals of all time after Spitz. Just a shame he swam in the same era as Phelps because Phelps was a little bit better. But both have said competing against the other pushed them to do better. They both brought out the best in each other, so maybe it’s a good thing Lochte was born when he was. It was a heck of a rivalry, from the same country too.

[@cg0825]

Both are amazing but always had felt bad for Lochte living in the shadow of Phelps and sadly getting caught up in the whole thing in Rio giving him negative press.

[@bogdanbalaci9483]

True but remember who has the actual record

[@ccbgaming6994]

I think Lochte actually genuinely enjoyed competing with him. He loved having the motivation to beat him and was actually good friends with Phelps too

[@DonostiGros]

Lochte improved his underwaters to the point he got as good if not better than Phelps. Wonderful rivalry!

[@ohseanswims7539]

absolutely agreed!

[@AliAlTamimi12]

Ur out of hr mind

[@ohseanswims7539]

@@AliAlTamimi12 The races from Shanghai 2011 show how great Lochte's underwaters were

[@savageswimmer]

No, Phelps’s underwaters were much better, not even close

[@simonthegoat2862]

SAVAGE SWIMMER lol that’s so false

[@verward]

IMO the 2008 olympic trials 400 IM was the greatest race of their rivalry. It signified both the rise of Lochte, it justified the hype that Lochte might be the only one who could beat Phelps and it also asserted Phelps' dominance in the end. It also shows most clearly the Lochte brings out the best in Phelps. All of his other races (except the 200 IM) were good not great. but the races where he faced Lochte he broke the WRs.

[@peterimpossibleplays6463]

Eccept in the end Cavic beat him and not Lochte when it mattered.

[@dianadimitrova6732]

Does anyone else get anxiety when they watch races? I always feel like I do when I'm omw to a meet 💀

[@kargirl]

It's such a delight to watch these two compete

[@agapeeternal]

This is amazing! Thank you for taking the time to do this ❤

[@nightflyer3242]

The 2008 Olympic Trials 400 IM is still the best 400 IM race of all time.

[@zaynes5094]

Agreed, Nora. I feel like that was the perfect example of their rivalry. Except that when it came time for the finals Lochte almost always came up just a little short.

[@msfoto3541]

Excellent job putting these videos together!

[@ohseanswims7539]

Thank you, my pleasure!

What do you think was the best Phelps vs Lochte race? I personally felt like their races at the Olympics weren't as entertaining or intense as the ones at other occasions. Tell me your thoughts!

[@MariachyGamer]

That's because Phelps, in the key moments, is the best in the world. Shame that this video doesn't show those races where Phelps SMASHED litteraly everyone

[@ohseanswims7539]

@@MariachyGamer Thanks for your comment. I just wanted to make sure that the video had the 'best' races between the two swimmers. A race in which Phelps dominates the entire field cannot really be seen as a 'good' race, rather a dominant race.

[@ccbgaming6994]

@MariachyGamer You’ve completely missed the point

[@bry8636]

Didn’t know Lochte had such a great 200 free. 1:44.4 is fast-take out the speedsuits and that’s probably a top 10 time. If it weren’t for Phelps Lochte would’ve been the greatest swimmer since Spitz Cool to have the rivalry But I’m betting Lochte wishes he was born 10 years earlier or later

[@MrCreepYT]

Why did the commentators in the 2nd race sound upset when lochte out touched phelps. Can’t they just be appreciate lochte’s greatness, and his rivalry with phelps?

[@michaelkohl1080]

Those were Korean commentators and they sounded disappointed cause Biedermann out touched Park I think

[@writethisthat3613]

fine channel Sean, well done

[@Underw0rld4]

In the last 200 IM race phelps had such a fast finish because that was when he started testing out dolphin kicks at the end of the race. He didnt stick with it to Rio though, interesting idea.

[@w81sec47]

[@francisnguyen6349]

Michael, and Rayn both of you are the best swimmer ever!

great video! i think 200im at 2016 trials was interesting. why didnt u choose it?

[@ohseanswims7539]

Thanks for asking! It was no doubt an interesting race but I felt like there was nothing special or significant about it apart from the fact that both Phelps and Lochte qualified to their 4th 200m IM in the Olympics.

We all know Phelps was the better swimmer 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@phillipgertz4499]

Of course. Without a words... but i love ryan bigger than michael.

[@dianadimitrova6732]

Well yea... His underwaters are really strong, his turns are fast, and his free and fly are amazing, Lochte is a really good breastroker, and a lot like me, he catches up to people ahead of him with his breastroke and he stays there, even pulling ahead with it. Either way they're both really good but Phelps just has the upper hand.

[@nightflyer3242]

Park Tae Hwan went from Korean hero to a disgrace. You can see by the Korean commentators just how much Park meant for Korean swimming until he blew it.

[@le0nz]

Why? Was he doping?

[@Arrica101]

Yes and no. His Wikipedia page explains it and basically says it was due to corruption with Korean sports.

[@counterstrike1110]

Who is the 2nd best swimmer of all time? Lochte or Thorpe?

[@powcod7455]

You should make a video about eamon sullivan

[@phyrruskarimarmalgold3660]

They made each other a better swimmer. Without Ryan’s pushes, Michael would not have succeeded like he was. Brilliant partnership.

[@finlad7031]

[@mariolazzarini5806]

What is it IM?

[@ohseanswims7539]

individual medley which is a race of swimming four equal lengths of each stroke. for instance in the 200 IM, a swimmer would swim 50m of butterfly, 50m of backstroke, 50m of breaststroke, and 50m of freestyle.

[@redherring4119]

Korean is my new favourite language now. Amazing.

[@aramkhachaturian8043]

If Phelps wasn't here it would be Lochte vs Cseh

[@ohseanswims7539]

I agree! Cseh was such a great swimmer but was overshadowed by Phelps and would've won several Olympic golds if it wasn't for him.

u doublejointed son of a god!

[@mikes3637]

Phelps was depressed and out of focus during 2011 and 2012 and offcourse Lochte continued to train hard,, that's why he beat him. By 2016 Mike was back again killing everyone.

Lochte would likely be considered the best swimmer of all time had he not been constantly racing Phelps. Without Phelps around, he’d have dominated everyone else like Phelps dominated everyone, including him.

Oh give me a break! Phelps all the way.

[@PL-qs1ig]

Ryan looks better :)

[@joburke6448]

Ryan Lochte lost all respect for lying about being robbed in Rio and destroying property, so no matter how skilled he is in swimming, he’s a loser in life. The better man wins as a respectable man, and that’s why Michael Phelps is still relevant and Lochte is just about forgotten and forever thought of as that guy who lied and destroyed property in another country while representing America.

Yeah cus michael have never had issues and done controversial things. Biased.
