DiRado, barely known outside of swimming before the Rio Games, won her first gold to add to a silver and a bronze medal in what she has said will be her only Olympics.
His final opportunity in the Olympic Aquatics Stadium pool comes Thursday in his favorite event against his favorite rival – the 200 individual medley with Phelps. Ledecky’s world record time Sunday night: 3:56.46, almost two seconds better than her previous world mark and almost five seconds ahead of the runner-up. “We take each other to that next step”, Phelps said.
Having the same name as Michael Phelps, the most decorated Olympian of all time, is for the manager of Del Frisco’s in Little Rock.
“It’s just gotten bigger and bigger as the ball has been rolling downhill”, said Jacob Pebley, who finished third in the semifinal heat of the 200 backstroke and will go for his own medal Thursday night. But swimmers from China and Australia pulled ahead of her by the time finally Maya hit the water.
Ledecky, 19, is on her way to equalling Amy Van Dyken and Missy Franklin as the only American women swimmers to win four gold medals in a single Olympics. But according to WebMD, a 2012 study published in the journal PLoS ONE suggests that cupping therapy may have more than a placebo effect. If he gets through to Friday’s final, he’ll also be seeking his fourth gold in a row in that event. Adrian gave it a great run at the gold in the pool, but he was just a tad later than Australia’s Kyle Chalmers, who won the gold, and Pieter Timmers of Belgium, who took the silver.
This was not the Olympics Lochte had in mind when he changed coaches, moved from Gainesville to Charlotte and renewed his commitment to the sport two years ago.

Yosuhiro Koseki of Japan went out fast and was more than a second under world-record pace at the final turn. “I’d love to race him again somewhere along the line in the 200 fly”. She already has won the 100 back, along with the 200 and 400 individual medleys. His medal tally is now 25 – a total that will probably never be surpassed. If the match against Spain was any indication, the team remains focused on that objective, as the US got goals from 8 of their 11 position players, including six different players in the first half.
