Lochte’s return
Before
the FINA World Championships in March, Lochte was best known for pushing world
record-holders Phelps and Aaron Peirsol to the wall race after race and
amassing a remarkable collection of silver medals. But Lochte turned heads and
shocked many when he unseated Peirsol, the American backstroke king, and set
his first individual long course world record at the FINA World Championships
by winning gold and climbing to the top of the podium in the 200 backstroke.
Lochte, who pulled out of the recent Santa Clara Grand Prix, will be swimming
in his first national meet since the stunning upset.
