Amazing to see how far Michael Phelps has come from this race to how he has been swimming in Rio.

[@harchitsanan2974]

Lochte is a great swimmer. Sad that he is underrated

[@lucasc.7485]

He still has a WR

[@foolanhi8183]

It’s because of what happened in rio🥺

[@imybird]

@@foolanhi8183 at least he apologized for it. I saw an interview with Lochte and he said that he’s ready to tell what happened in Rio

[@maiconracoes1212]

he lie bro for the police bro,

[@missym877]

@@imybird I think the most heart breaking thing is how he lost a huge chunk of his fortune due to losing all his endorsement...and basically was training for Tokyo as a means to provide again for he and his family, and didn’t even make the team. A far cry from what he use to be able to do. It’s a tough lesson to learn for sure.

[@abigailwilliams6002]

Did anyone else not hear the “take your marks” at the start?!

[@brianmcd9492]

Always good to see 2 great champions everyone's a winner in the pool. Well done Ryan and Michael. I Think a 400m IM Shoot Out between Ryan and Michael should be the next RE-MATCH 🙂👍

[@sweetysharma6374]

First comment has 4 likes, reply has 5. Just like lanes 4 and 5

[@emileeyounglao5811]

i think it woulda been different if lochte didnt get a big head after those couple wins but he was bashing phelps n shit so my guess is that phelps instead of talking back just trained harder and faster man lochte woulda had a better chance if he didnt test phelps cuz one thing ive observed about phelps since a youngin is he doest take losses lightly n def wont take it from someone like lochte so he prolly got in the pool and gym and train 10x harder than usual. i would not wanna test phelp he is a swim god

[@TheEmmittvlzqz]

is phelps wearing an arena suit?!

[@danieldiehl3568]

Yes

[@blahblahblah8914]
