Die Macht » Anderson finished with a 68

OMAHA, Neb. -- Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte did their part. The longtime rivals are headed to another showdown at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials.Phelps and Lochte cruised through the semifinals of the 200-meter individual medley Thursday, with each winning his heat in dominating fashion.It means a lot, Lochte said. Ive been racing him in this event since, like, 2003. Hes a tough competitor. I just love racing against him because its a challenge.This one is especially significant for Lochte, an 11-time Olympic medalist who has yet to qualify for an individual event in Rio.Slowed by a groin injury, the 31-year-old Lochte missed out in the 400 IM -- a race he won at the Olympics four years ago -- finished fourth in the 200 freestyle and dropped out of the 200 backstroke.Although also entered in the 100 butterfly, Lochte is basically putting all his hopes on the 200 IM. A top-two finish will give him a spot, but he really wants a win over Phelps in Friday nights final before they head to the Olympics.Im feeling better, as far as, like, mentally, but physically, Im getting tired, said Lochte, who at the very least will be going to Rio as a relay swimmer. Tomorrow night will definitely be a good battle between me and Michael.Lochte was the top qualifier, at 1 minute, 56.71 seconds, while Phelps took the second spot in 1:57.61. That means theyll be right beside each other in the final, just as theyve been so many times in their dazzling careers.Phelps has already qualified for Rio in the 200 fly, but the most decorated athlete in Olympic history is eager to add two more individual races to his program. Hell be a big favorite in the 100 fly, a race in which Lochte doesnt figure to be a major threat.This is their only real chance to race.Him and I have gone back and forth a number of times in this race, Phelps said. During the big meets, we have great races. Were right there with each other tomorrow in the middle of the pool, probably a couple of tenths apart. Were going to be out and probably step on the gas a little bit more than we have in the past, and youll have an exciting race.Missy Franklin, on the other hand, didnt advance to the final of the 100 freestyle. The other big star from London struggled to an 11th-place showing in the semifinals, which leaves her with only one individual race in Rio and just one more chance to bulk up her program: the 200 backstroke.No matter what, Franklins bubbly personality will be much less of a presence at these Summer Games than it was four years ago.That speed just doesnt feel like its quite there this meet, she said. No idea why. Its super disappointing, but I really feel like my endurance is there, so it gives me a lot of hope for my 200 back.Franklin is going to her second Summer Games, but she wont be nearly as busy this time around. As a high schooler four years ago, Franklin took part in seven events and won four golds and a bronze. At age 21, shes shaping up as one of the biggest flops of the trials, besides a gutsy, runner-up finish behind Katie Ledecky in the 200 free. At the most, Franklin will swim three events in Rio.While Franklin is struggling, another Olympic gold medalist will get a chance to defend his title. Nathan Adrian, the burly 27-year-old who won the 100 freestyle in London, used a powerful finishing kick to win in 47.72 seconds. Caeleb Dressel will also get to swim the down-and-back sprint in Rio, after taking the second spot at 48.23.Anthony Ervin, the oldest swimmer at the trials, got off to a blistering start and led at the turn. But the 35-year-old couldnt hold on and faded to fourth in 48.54 while also touching behind Ryan Held (48.26). The top four are assured spots on the team for the 4x100 free relay, which means Ervin will be headed to his third Olympics.On the fifth night of the meet, Josh Prenot became the latest Olympic rookie to make the team when he knocked off Kevin Cordes in the 200 breaststroke. Cordes won the 100 breast and was more than a second under world-record pace at the final turn of the longer race. But Prenot, furiously bouncing up and down in the water, surged past Cordes on the final lap to win in 2 minutes, 7.17 seconds. He set an American record and finished just off the world mark of 2:07.01 held since 2012 by Japans Akhiro Yamaguchi.Also Thursday, Cammile Adams won the 200 butterfly after being briefly disqualified once day earlier during the preliminaries. The ruling that she made an illegal turn was quickly overturned after a review provided by the underwater camera, and Adams took advantage of her second chance to win with a time of 2:06.80. Hali Flickinger took the second Olympic spot in 2:07.50.Phelps is shooting to swim three individual races and will likely be part of all three relays. Also, he celebrated his 31st birthday on Thursday.I have a bunch of friends here, and my mom rented out a room, so were all going to get together and have some food, Phelps said.Then hell turn his attention to a familiar foe.
