With it being so close he probably wanted to save something for that race. Either that or he just isnt as good as he hyped himself to be. Could be either one | ||

She was sexually abused by her childhood Judo coach, who is in jail now, and began to hate Judo. Her parents kept her in it thinking it would be cathartic and she ends up winning the gold medal. Her nightmare became her salvation and glory. Someone should mention that to her, poor girl doesn't even realize how cathartic her life turned out. Shit, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. | ||

He seemed to be mad, he kinda denied shaking his hand Clary is not exactly popular with Lochte or Phelps for that matter. He was the guy that knocked on Phelps's work ethic for not practicing as much as he did. Guy's only swimming two events so he should be happy he got that one gold medal while Lochte & Phelps have to focus on swimming 7-8 events. He got destroyed by Phelps in the 200m butterfly. His comments make him pretty self-centered. | ||
