Does anyone else like Ryan Lochte?

Question

I think he's an amazing swimmer and he's also kind of hot. It's kind of annoying that Phelps is the only one who gets the hype

Answer 1

I like Piersol too :)

Answer 2

I know, all the commentary on the Olympics here is ALWAYS about Phelps someway or another.  He's probably the best swimmer in the world, but geez there are other hardworking guys out there too!

Ryan is the embodiment of perfection though.  He's the finest man I've ever set my eyes on. :) I luuurve him!

Answer 3

Yea, PHelps is better. BUt I think Ryan is next. PLus he's so HOT!. and ripped and everything! o yea great swimmmmer to lol!

Answer 4

I agree. Phelps is obviously faster than him, but Lochte is a strong swimmer too, and I do believe it's unfair that no one acknowledges it. Everyone is so focused on Phelps and on his 8 gold medals that we seem to forget about the other swimmers. It annoys me when in team interviews (like after the relays), they treat the other guys like they're worthless, then focus on Phelps some more. We'll never know, but I believe Lochte would be the strongest swimmer if Phelps wasn't there. It sucks for him because he'll always be second, because he's close in age to Phelps.

Answer 5

OMG! I feel like the exact same way. Like Ryan just got into the semi finals  for the 200M backstroke and they suddenly just interviewed phelps. i was like what the heck? that's stupid.

and i was listening to some commentator on nbc, and they said that someone close to michael stated that he wouldn't have gotten as far as he is today if it weren't for ryan lochte (cos he is obviously pushing phelps, cos he doesn't want to lose to him). So i think he deserves some credit for that. and i mean they are like best friends, so ryan must feel like he's shoved in the back all the time.

but at least ryan lochte is wicked hot. phelps is just ugly in my opinion :D

Answer 6

They mention who does the most work, Not who has the cutest face.
