Ryan Lochte insists he is still going to fight for a spot on the Tokyo team which would be his fifth Olympic Games.<\/em><\/p>\n

With the Olympic Games being postponed another year to 2021<\/a>, that leaves a lot of athletes with questions on what their futures will look like having to extend their training another 365 days.<\/p>\n

The older the athlete, the more questions to face. Ryan Lochte<\/strong>, who at 35, is training for what would be his fifth Olympic Games in Tokyo while also supporting a family. But with the coronavirus pandemic causing the Games to be pushed back another year, Lochte<\/a> will have to hold on for another year. Like many Olympic hopefuls, Lochte was disappointed in the decision to postpone the Games, but he knew it was the right move to ensure the safety of the rest of the world.<\/p>\n

“Especially these past four years, I have had to overcome a lot. This was going to be one of my most important Olympics,” Lochte told\u00a0Swimming World<\/em>. “But this is bigger than me. This is bigger than the Olympians. This is about the entire world and what we have to do now is come together and stay safe and stay healthy or else this is going to get worse and worse.”<\/p>\n

The official dates for the 2021 Games have not been finalized, but the four-time Olympian and current 200 IM world record holder will likely be just a few days away from his 37th birthday if he can earn a seat on the plane to Japan. Even though he is twice as old as some of his competitors at Olympic Trials, Lochte had no hesitation in saying he was still going to push for another year.<\/p>\n

“There’s still more I want to accomplish in the sport of swimming,” Lochte said. “This Olympics being postponed is just another minor bump in the road. I’ve had many bumps in the road especially in the past four years that I have been able to overcome and get back and move forward.<\/p>\n

“It’s a minor bump but I got to look at the positives of this. I get to have another year of training, another year of getting better. Working on my technique and getting stronger in and out of the water. I think I’m going to become an even better and faster swimmer than I am right now.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Ryan Lochte has had a rocky road since his last Olympics in Rio where he swam on the gold medal winning 4×200 free relay team alongside Michael Phelps<\/strong>, and was fifth in the 200 IM.<\/p>\n

He generated international controversy when he had a drunken altercation with Brazilian police after the Rio Games, and was suspended by USA Swimming for lying publicly about the incident. He lost four of his major sponsorships, could not compete for a spot on the 2017 Worlds team, and lost a lot of his reputation.<\/p>\n

The bumps in the road continued in 2018 when he was suspended by USADA just before the US Nationals for receiving intravenous fluids without a therapeutic use exemption.<\/p>\n

But Lochte made a strong comeback to the pool at the 2019 US Nationals, winning the 200 IM<\/a> and re-establishing his position among the world’s elite.<\/p>\n

After starting a family, Lochte has started to clean up his image. He wanted to use the 2020 Olympic Trials as a way to show he can fight through any adversity and come out of the other side stronger. He will just have to wait another year to do that.<\/p>\n

The coronavirus pandemic has caused many pools around the world to be closed and athletes everywhere were scrambling trying to find adequate opportunities to train. Lochte is training in Gainesville, Florida alongside his long-time coach\u00a0Gregg Troy\u00a0<\/strong>and he was able to train in the water up until Monday. Now he is making the best of the situation with his wife and kids while they are at home.<\/p>\n

“Right now we are doing a lot of bench presses with the kids, holding them and doing some squats and staying fit as much as possible,” Lochte said.<\/p>\n

“We just have to stay positive and we have to stay together and keep doing the protocols that every one is doing with washing your hands and everything. So we have to keep on track and not fall apart in these times. Yes, we don’t have a swimming pool but we can still stay fit and we still become active.”<\/p>\n

If Ryan Lochte is to make the Olympic team in 2021, he would be just the third American swimmer to compete in five Olympic Games after his long-time rival Phelps and Dara Torres<\/strong>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
