Are you kidding me! Lochte was awful when he lied to the world of what happened to them in Rio. He was literally detained and jailed for being drunk and lying to the Brazilians that they were mugged. They trashed the convenience store they went to. Lochte should be banned from being involved in any Olympics!
I would say 2010-2012. Phelps chose not to swim either IM at the ‘09 worlds so it’s really hard to say who would’ve won there. Plus Phelps’s 200 free performance in 2009 would’ve been much better than Lochte’s 2009 performance in the 200 free if he were to swim it at worlds
He's looking rough. I hope he gets through his demons and finds a way to accept himself and his past failures and push forward. We've all been there. More power to you, Ryan. When you know better, you do better.
Ryan was the best and only competitor against Michael phelps...nobody will beat that and now nobody has that privilege to compete against phelps since phelps isnt swimming anymore....ryan is blessed and is true privilege to be against the best of the best
There is a story about how after Ryan beat him in the 400IM in London Michael had a crisis in confidence and how Nathan Aidrian got into Michael’s face and reminded him who he was. Ryan set the world record in that race and Michael didn’t make the podium. The fact that Michael Phelps had a confidence crisis because Lochte beat him tells you how much respect Michael had for Ryan because at that point nobody could ever make Michael think that low of himself.
So, is the assumption that a WR holder could only have achieved that status by having tried everything under the sun or is it rather an observation that you don't have to try everything under the sun in order to succeed, but rather find what works for you. After all, I haven't seen him achieve his former level of competitiveness/performance as a result of Michael's advice.
@@MrVpassenheim the 6 beat kick is like the basics of competitive swimming. It's one the first things you are taught when you start competing. So it is a bit weird that a professional swimmer with loads of Olympic medals didn't know about such a basic skill.
Nobody here understood what he meant. Lochte knows what a 6 beat kick is, Phelps’ advice was to go back to the very basics and perfect the 6 beat kick to regain his focus and build from there.
@@carolinapietracci5857 Not sure how old you are but it might be a generational thing. I am in my 30s today and swam competitively for 12 years. This is the first time I’ve heard of it.
Well I mean lochte is the second best swimmer ever next to Phelps and nobody is close to either of them 🤷🏾♂️ tbh so it was kinda a rivalry between them Ryan even beat him in multiple events in 2012 nobody else can say that besides lochte and lochte holds a few world records and Phelps never beat those
@@leamaka2082 I’m talking about in our generation btw lochte still has more medals than him he has 11 lochte 12 second most medals in the history of the sport while Phelps is miles ahead of anyone with like 28 or something
@@adoniswilliamson3010 No you wrote about Lochte and added “ever”…. So I was letting you know that there was a great swimmer - Mark Spitz - who won 7 gold medals in 1972 Olympic Games, only surpassed by Michael Phelps in 2008 with 8 gold medals. I was just trying to let you know. I was not trying to diminish Lochte’s great accomplishments and I didn’t know he won all these medals and that is great!!! He seems to be a nice guy. He’s made mistakes like we all do and so did Phelps. It’s part of life. And yes, Phelps is above all the other swimmers.
He is the only swimmer in history to beat Phelps in a race where both went best life times. Lochte broke his own world record and Phelps broke his own best personal time. Take that into consideration.
so a big part of why people think he's not happy is because they think this is the only segment that was recorded, this is one of many things they talked about and they focused in on it in this video, it's titled and started and ended on the subject, but whenever these types of talks are recorded there are so many things that are talked about that don't even get published sometimes.
I really love the way all of the perfect and self-righteous people come out from under their rocks to continually judge Ryan. I usually ignore these stupid postings, but this time......no. Tell you what. All of you who refuse to let it go, take a hard look in the mirror. Do you see a perfect human being looking back? No. Did God hand over the keys to Heaven to every single one of you and give YOU the right to continually judge this guy? NO. And don't give me any more crap about what he did. We ALL know what he did. You won't let us forget what he did. You will never let us forget what he did. ENOUGH of your shit. You want to condemn and judge? You won't let go? I wish I had a print out of everything YOU have done in your lifetime. I wish you would have to deal with the constant judging by people just like you. So, yeah, sit at your computer with your mightier than thou mindset and hold onto HIS past transgressions. I guess the rest of us just don't realize how blessed we are to have people like you to let us know what we all have done wrong.......over and over and over and over and over. ENOUGH! It is OLD. It is FINISHED!
My brother was a high level D1 swimmer in the times these 2 were coming up and he said Ryan is legit the dumbest person he has ever met in his life lmao.
So Ryan Lochte is now a 12 time Olympic Medalist, world renowned and is worth around $10 million Dollars. What has your so called 'Smart" brother accomplished so far?
Ehhh he’s got money and he could be nervous in front of cameras. Also he’s in professional sports which in all honesty is a child’s sport at the highest level. Hey he got money so hes fine. If he had to join the professional world it might be worth exploring but he’s not even close to as stupid as a tiktoker so fuck it he’s killing it!!
yooo wait phelps and lochte are, together, the greatest IM swimmers of all time. in 2014, the 10 fastest 200 IM times of all time were held by phelps and lochte, 5 EACH. when lochte broke phelps's world record in the 200 IM at the 2011 world championships in shanghai, he did so for the first time since full-body tech suits were banned, and additionally, phelps went a personal best time in that very race, which still stands as his best time today. furthermore, lochte currently holds the world record in this event from that race. if you are a fan of swimming, you understand that we are so fortunate to have been able to watch two of the greatest swimmers in history set world records competing against each other while absolutely dominating the best international fields in the process. in their prime, no one came close to either of them in the IMs. unquestionably, phelps has achieved things that lochte hasn't, but lochte undoubtedly inspired greatness in phelps and deserves recognition for his swimming greatness. here are the top 5 lochte v phelps showdowns if you'd like to witness the unique nature of their rivalry: th-cam.com/video/GrK196QiNfo/w-d-xo.html
They were held at gunpoint. It was a shakedown. He didn't break a door, but actually knocked a sign which then fell off a wall. Also, the Brazilian government did lie about the entire scenario. Not an experience you'd want to find yourself in. Rio's crime rate is astronomical. On the same day of the incident several other teams were accosted/robbed. Apparently, there's no controversy over that, but slight misbehavior as a pretext for the use of potential deadly force is acceptable behavior.
They violated the athlete’s quarter by hanging out in bars. They were dead drunk and trashed a store and lied about being mugged. He was a disgrace to our country!
I met Ryan at a meet when I was 12 & he is absolutely the worst. He made rude comments to children and refused to acknowledge anyone else at the meet after his race….
I had the complete opposite experience in 2011 with him. He was giggling with us kids on the bus when he could've sat up front with the other camp coaches.
Bersinger: would you say if Phelps hadn't been around would you be better or worse? Lochte: I'd have to say yes and no. Way to fail a multiple choice question.
He’s a ditz for sure but there’s no denying the fact that unfortunately we are the ones watching him do a high profile interview with graham bensinger and he returns home to his playboy playmate wife and children....lol clearly a man of privilege for sure but I can’t hate him for that....he was bred to swim anyway his dad was a swimming coach....happy if he’s happy at this point, it’s all that really matters
As some one who has done 20 ironman triathlons, as well as at least that number of endurance swimming events, I can tell you that swim training is physically and mentally exhausting. It's hard getting into the pool knowing you have to do 4,000 meters. It is a lot easier doing a bike or run session. A privileged person doesn't last in this sport.
He seems vulnerable and carrying some deep emotional issues around both of his parents. Not everyone has an intact family, life can be very complex. I wish him well.
That’s not entirely true. From 2009-2012 Lochte was truly the better swimmer. Phelps couldn’t beat him in the events they shared and he broke Phelps times
Not at all, especially not in 2009. Lochte beat phelps in 2011 twice, and in 2012 once(in international competition), and that was about it. The only international competition lochte arguably did better than phelps in was 2011 worlds.
He beat Phelps multiple times: when setting the American record in the 200 yard IM around 2006 or 2007, 2010 Nationals 200m IM, 2011 Shanghai WR 200 IM, beat him in the 200 free at Shanghai, 400 IM London Olympics. I may be forgetting others, but those come to mind.
No, he's beaten him at least 5 times (2 times alone at the 2011 world championships, once at the 2012 Olympics; 4 times in major competitions and I believe once elsewhere - www.swimmingworldmagazine.com/news/the-phelps-lochte-rivalry-a-years-long-duel-that-captured-the-sport/). Also, he has 5 of the top 10 times in his WR event, the 200 IM. The other 5 times are Phelps. Furthermore, Lochte has the fastest textile time ever in the 400 IM and is the fastest American ever (textile suit) in the 200 backstroke. He's the 2nd best American male swimmer ever and has swum a good dozen close races with Phelps. Definitely a rival, even acknowledged by Phelps.
Why are you interviewing this person? Don't you remember that he committed crimes in Brazil and made the U.S. look terrible? I believe in people making mistakes and in giving second chances but in this situation: 1. He was not charged with any crimes and wasn't even reprimanded for his actions. 2. The way he initially lied about being the victim is just straight evil and malicious. 3. It's nearly impossible to believe that he actually learned something from this situation after the obvious leniency he was given due to his status as an Olympic athlete. Basically, my point is Ryan Lochte is trash and who cares if he used to be a good swimmer. Michael Phelps was the better anyways lol.
1. Did he not apologize? 2. It's been...how many years? 3. Clearly he's troubled and vulnerable, and if we forgave Tonya Harding and saw HER through more sympathetic eyes, why not Lochte?
love ryan. so easy to read, so honest.
so intelligent !
“He wouldn’t give me pointers when we raced against each other” NO KIDDING? 😂😂

Ryan seems like a genuinely nice person. Vulnerable and fragile in a way. I wish him the best💕
Agree.
he seems punch drunk to be honest
@@trappedintimesurroundedbye5477 Ryan has ALWAYS sounded like that. It's Ryan.

They trashed the convenience store they went to. Lochte should be banned from being involved in any Olympics!
Ryan will always be mu favorite swimmer of all time
Thank god someone asked about their relationship
Watching Phelps vs Lochte was my favorite part of the Olympics. I hope Lochte is taking care of himself, he's a cool dude
Ryan calling Phelps a little s*it is the best 😂 I also love how it puts to bed all the trash talk people have done about their friendship.
Some of y’all really don’t know that Lochte was better than Phelps from 2009-2012 and it shows
But that was the middle, phelps was better 2013-2016 - 200im rio - finished on top! Lochte wishes he could do what phelps did in rio...
