2012 Summer Olympics

Watch Michael Phelps And Ryan Lochte (And Others) Face Off In The 400m IM Final Live

by Dylan Murphy | 2:14 pm, July 28th, 2012

Michael Phelps barely snuck into the final heat of the 400m IM relay today, grabbing the eighth and final spot and nearly blowing a chance at a medal. Even though his time was less than stellar, he’s still a favorite to capture gold. But so is Ryan Lochte, his main American competitor, who safely landed in the final with the third best time overall after his qualifying heat.

The race starts at 2:30pm EST.

It should be a great race, especially since Phelps now knows he has to give more than, say, 40% effort to win.

For now, watch some other swimming. It’s quite exciting.
