As a former Gator swimmer (long before Lochte) I understand these pressures and am so proud of him for the path he is on. With his dedication and work ethic, win or lose in swimming he will prevail in life in the end.
Going back to this, it’s sad to see he’s not in a space where he’s just happy to be there. In 2016, the last generation had the mentality of I’m just happy to swim and whatever happens, happens. The Olympic trials so far have been a changing of the guard. People I believe would have no problem making it aren’t, and while it’s making a new wave of much needed faces in the sport, it’s sad to see the individuals that inspired and had such a large impact on my own swimming career struggle. Ryan made a huge mistake, I won’t sugar coat it. In the world of swimming he’s lost a lot of respect he once had. But I don’t think we’ve given him the same understanding as others. Michael has 2 DUIs. I swear missy has made cry every time I hear her speak about her own struggles after 2013. There will be others we of course don’t hear talk about the pain and pressure. And just bc you’re a legend you don’t get a guaranteed pass to the Olympics unlike say the nfl that would allow a legend to more easily retire on their own terms. I respect how Ryan is trying to reshape his imagine but he’s running out of time I will say there are others outside of the sport of swimming that have made huge mistakes but they had the media support/advisors to not make such a fool of themselves
I hope he’s able to redeem himself and get back on top. He lost MILLIONS in sponsorships back in the 2016 scandal. I mean he literally lost his income basically. I hope for his sake he can prove everyone wrong and get back on top
I swim with Steve on the NCC marauders Ryan was just a kid a baby at that point hard to believe I’m old enough to know now he’s 36 years old lol. I wish you all the luck in the world I hope you make this last Olympics even if you don’t you’ve been in Normas Lee successful and you will go down as one of the best swimmers ever so hold your head high no matter what the result
He did one mistake, i feel he is always gonna have that feeling inside he always gonna prove and prove....all these new swimmers, nothing compare to phelps v lochte....i think ryan was michaels real competition
Nos brasileiros Sabemos perdoar Mas o povo norte americano Não perdoa Eles tem que Saber perdoa Ele reconheceu Seu erro Tá bem perdoar Eh um dom que Nem todos tem Os norte americanos Jogando agente Laranja no vietnam Agora querem Colocar Ryan. Lotche na cadeira Elétrica eh muita Cara de Pau Desse povinho Abençoados somos Nós brasileiros Que sabemos perdoar
Glad you are continuing to be one of the best representatives of the sport of international swimming. My family has been a fan of yours for years. Enjoy your family and children. Glad you have benefited from rehab. You will always be The Man! Thank you for your commitment to the sport.
The wife is weird. Seems like she brings bad juju and hung in there hoping it would a payoff at the olympics. and he needs help hes not ok something ain't right here. unconvincing
Exactly Ryan, I am so glad that you take responsibility for your downfall. It was utter madness brought about by your over-inflated ego. But I wish you well.
"Are there ever mornings where it's like 'Damn it, I don't want to do this'?"
"Every morning"
When you do it anyway, that's what makes a champion
I admire his strength and conviction. He is sincere.
Just remember: "You are a man at night... and a man in the morning...."

Povinho ridículo
Que não sabe perdoar esses
EUA
Regardless of next month, he will go down as one of the all time greats. Best of luck.
He's been my hero since 2004. Now i'm a Div 1 rower and I still look up to him everyday

Yeah hope he can accept that his highs and lows and personal worth aren't just defined by how fast he swims or if he's first second third or last
I hope he’s able to redeem himself and get back on top. He lost MILLIONS in sponsorships back in the 2016 scandal. I mean he literally lost his income basically. I hope for his sake he can prove everyone wrong and get back on top
You're gonna kill it dude, I'm rooting for you! ✊
Looking back, he may have been the most disliked American superstar Olympian ever
he treated Rio like spring break...and paid the price
Dude is the greatest short course swimmer in history. Mistakes don't take that away.

Lochte is not gonna do well. Dude is way passed his prime.
@@SlickRick4EVER no i disagree...human body is a self made machine...i think he still has the potential to make it...
Ryan, you’ve always been a winner in my book. All the very best to you in Tokyo. Go Team USA 🇺🇸
he's is a vandall, and he didn't swim to tokyo
GO Ryan, may your 5th Olympic team have the most meaning for you! And, GOOOOO Gators 🟠🔵🐊
He does not need rehab. He just needs to go to church or somewhere.

He's a great guy, why people hating on him?
The wife is weird. Seems like she brings bad juju and hung in there hoping it would a payoff at the olympics. and he needs help hes not ok something ain't right here. unconvincing
Get back to the pool Ryan make the Olympics in Paris 2024
Exactly Ryan, I am so glad that you take responsibility for your downfall. It was utter madness brought about by your over-inflated ego. But I wish you well.
After Rio, I am impressed that The US Team doesn`t have any one better.
