Both Phelps and Lochte win gold!

My latest Olympic crush, Ryan Lochte, may have lost the showdown with an awesone Michael Phelps Friday in the final of the 200 individual medley, but he did manage to win an individual gold of his own in the 200-metre backstroke on Friday, taking the race in a world-record one minute 53.94 seconds.

The final of the 200 individual medley came about an hour after the backstroke victory and he had to settle for the bronze as Phelps set his sixth world record in as many events at the Beijing Games.
This is kinda funny: Ryan won the 200 backstroke despite a problem with his LZR Racer suit, the state-of-the-art skin that has helped swimmers set a slew of records in Beijing.

"My suit came undone after the first 50," he said. "I was just trying to control my legs."
