Ryan Lochte’s New Look Is Spreading

We saw what taper-inspired hair looks like on 11-time Olympic medalist Ryan Lochte, but SwimMAC Elite teammate Jimmy Feigen liked it so much he also tried it on for size.

Whether you think the studs’ new ‘dos look grey, blue or silver, both Feigen and Lochte look happy and relaxed headed into Rio, a state in which all of their fans are happy to see them.

The 2016 Olympic Games opening ceremony is scheduled for this Friday, August 5th. Lochte will be competing in the men’s 200m IM event, while both he and Feigen will be on some combination of U.S. relays. Both participated in a men’s 4x100m freestyle relay time trial over the weekend while at their staging camp in Atlanta.

Team USA leaves for Rio today, August 1st.

Lochte looks like he could be Greg Louganis’ brother.

Just because 1 more person has that ‘do doesn’t mean it’s “spreading”.

Ryan Lochte is a swimmer first but he’s also a Ralph Lauren model. Therefore, he’s a part of the fashion industry and does help shape trends. There is absolutely nothing wrong with following his change in hair color. He’s a celebrity and brings needed positive attention to the sport.

Who cares? They’re not standing there with their pants around their knees, they’re clean, they’re fit, they’re enjoying themselves and they love putting on the USA cap and racing their hearts out. What part of “Games” is difficult to understand? I love their sense of fun.

This is great- I really like the top photo with the coaches. It reminds me of my senior year in high school when we all shaved our heads for finals on a whim. The next day our coaches shaved their heads, too. Good times.

Except the coaches didn’t dye their hair here…that’s their natural color!
