Ryan Lochte helped the U.S. team win gold in the men’s 800 free relay Tuesday night, teaming with Conor Dwyer, Townley Haas and Michael Phelps to come in more than two seconds ahead of the rest of the field in 7:00.66.
The gold medal was the 12th of Lochte’s career, moving him past Mark Spitz as the second most-decorated male Olympic swimmer of all time. Lochte, 32, has won six gold, three silver and three bronze medals in four Olympic Games. Only Phelps, with 25 medals (21 gold, two silver and two bronze) has more.
Four of the six gold medals have come as part of the American 800 free relay team. Lochte has amazingly been on the U.S. quarter that has swum in the finals at every Olympics, World Championships and Pan Pacs for the past 13 years, going back to the 2004 Olympics in Athens.
In that race in Athens, Klete Keller memorably held off Australia’s Ian Thorpe at the very end to start a U.S. win streak that lasted until last summer’s World Championships, when a depleted American squad fell to Great Britain and a charging James Guy on the anchor leg.
