Ryan Lochte, Chasing Fifth Olympic Bid, the Subject of Sports Illustrated Feature<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ryan Lochte<\/strong> has long been a top draw in the sport, his fans equally eager to follow his exploits in the pool and out of the water. Now, as a 36-year-old seeking a berth to fifth Olympic Games, Lochte is the subject of a feature story in the latest issue of Sports Illustrated<\/a>. The piece, Ryan Lochte’s Last Try, focuses on Lochte’s chase for a spot on the United States squad that will race at this summer’s Olympics in Tokyo.<\/p>\n

Written by Brian Burnsed, the piece focuses on Lochte’s pursuit of the past form that made him a 12-time Olympic medalist, along with mistakes he has made during his life. The article takes a look at the Rio Gas Station incident<\/a> that marred Lochte’s participation in the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro and led to a suspension by USA Swimming. When the United States Olympic Trials are held in June in Omaha, Lochte will be one of the top attractions, his storyline a simple one: Can the veteran put together a final hurrah at an age where most athletes in his sport are retired.<\/p>\n

Lochte’s best chance to qualify for the Tokyo Games will be in the 200-meter individual medley, an event in which Lochte has won four world championships and claimed three Olympic medals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
