Ryan Lochte: Troy is My Coach No Matter Where I Train – Video Interview

2013 Santa Clara Grand Prix coverage of men’s 200 IM as reported by Braden Keith:

An exclamation mark to end the 2013 Santa Clara International Grand Prix for Ryan Lochte: he pounded his 4th win of the meet in 1:58.07, jumping him to 7th in the World Rankings this year.

There were a lot of really good closing freestyle finishes in this race, but nobody opened like Lochte did. He split 25.2 and 29.1 on the front-half, to turn in a scorching 54.43. That’s two seconds better than runner-up Conor Dwyer (2:00.19) went out, and that was Lochte’s margin of victory.

Though the World Record holder keeps improving on his breaststroke every year it seems like, his bread-and-butter is still that first 100 meters.

Chase Kalisz took 3rd in 2:01.11, using a very good breaststroke leg to overtake Tyler Clary (4th – 2:02.39.)

Kyle Whitaker, who trains with Clary in Ann Arbor, Michigan, was 5th in 2:02.83, and Josh Prenot was 6th in 2:02.91.

Florida’s Dan Wallace, a British international, won the B-Final in 2:02.55.

This video interview was captured by SwimSwam contributor Morgan Priestley.
