That's all that separates Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte in the 200 IM. Despite their opposite personalities, the two fastest swimmers in American history have become close friends. But it's their intense rivalry that sets the stage for what promises to be the single greatest race at the Beijing games.
Gold medalist Ryan Lochte talks to John Gonzalez about Phelps's fame, scooter stunts, and his new grill.
He has been called the best swimmer of his generation since he was 16, he dominated the Olympics at 19, and this spring he shattered five world records, a few of them his own. About the only one who can beat Michael Phelps now is...Michael Phelps.
Don't let the bare feet, the guitar, and the Hawaiian "endless summer" vibe fool you. When you're on top of the world, as Jack Johnson is these days, staying down-to-earth is a full-time job.
Men tired of working their asses off in the gym and not seeing results are now turning to a radical new surgery to get the perfect stomach.
These days, the first American Tour de France champion seems to have more vendettas than victories. As trek bicycles, his longtime sponsor, sues LeMond to shut up about Lance Armstrong and doping, Bill Gifford tries to determine whether the former superstar is a crusader out to save cycling or one massively bitter maniac.
