Men’s 200 backstroke
American Ryan Lochte qualified first in a time of 1:49.71, “I actually felt really crap this morning. All the races I have done last week are starting to catch up. But it is the last day of the tournament, and there is always something left in the tank.”
Lochte also shared his expectations for his races on the final night of competition, “I just wanna be satisfied with racing. I do so many races because I like to do it. I’ve got three more races coming up tonight and it is going to be a hard triple, but I just do it because I like it.”

“I hope I have a chance for a gold. This year I have been very unlucky in the short course.”
“I need to rebuild myself. It’s taking a bit longer that I thought.

Ryan is giving out his Gold medal again !!!! great behavior
That’s pathetic.He is giving out the medal that the press have to speak about him.
Ryan Lochte doesn’t need to give out medals to have the press talk about him.
not at all !! u really dont understand the point here . never mind hehehe keep smiling
Tough double , we could see that in the 100 IM But all credits to Ryan Lochte to win the race . Very tight race . 7 th medal in ther pocket , what an accomplishment this week .
Lochte got second on the 200 back , outtouched on the wall !!!!!! what a close race with Murphy ( 3d/ 1.48.86 ) Very happy for Kawecky( 1.48.48) , he swam so well very close to Ryan (1.48.50)
Lochte just can’t double that 200 back anymore and it showed in both races. He needs to either drop it or just swim that one event on the days it’s scheduled.
probably very true ! only he knows what to do in 7 months to balance that
Wow…huge upset.
Smoliga , 2d place on 50 back !!! great race
Morozov wins( 46.65) but not with a strong margin on D’osogna 2d( 46.80) and lagunov 3d ( 46.81) .
Morozov was 45.65…
yes sorry , little mistake !
I really wonder is Ryan will be the freestyle leg for the relay , probably a late decision will be made according to his shape ….just before the race .
It’s Grevers, Cordes, Shields, Lochte according to the start list.
it is in Turkish , but if u are on Fina TV as well , u got the english commentators to complete the images live . Funny but working .
