Lochte Ryan Biography

Nevertheless, in his homeland this swimmer is very popular, he has many titles, awards of the highest dignity, and there is a couple of world records. The fact that last year Locht received the title of the swimmer of the year in the United States, bypassing the very famous felps and Parsola, says a lot. Ryan’s father, Steve Lokhte, was a swimming coach at the Daytona Beech Swim Club club, which, perhaps, determined the further fate of the boy.

It was in this club under the leadership of his own father Ryan to comprehend the basics of swimming, achieved his first successes and received his first awards. One of the first international starts in Ryan Loch's career was the Olympic Games in Athens in the year. According to the swimmer, it was in Athens after the victory of the American team in the 4th free style that he was noticed in the world of swimming.

Gold for the victory in this relay was not the only trophy brought by the shaggy of Athens. The second award of the athlete at these games was silver at a distance of meters, where he lost to the famous Michael Felps, which was not at all a defeat in the eyes of a young swimmer. The next stage significant for the shaggy is the World Water Sports Championship in Melbourne in the year.

It was in Melbourne that he set his first world record at a distance of m on his back for 1 min. In general, the competition in Melbourne brought Ryan two gold and three silver, which in itself was fine, especially on the eve of the Olympic Games in Beijing.

The Beijing Olympiad for Ryan Lochte has become no less significant and productive. He put in the piggy bank of the American team two gold meters on the back and 4x free -style and two bronze medals and M in the complex. At the same time, at a distance M on his back, the swimmer broke his own world record, set a year earlier in Melbourne. But despite such brilliant victories, he is far from the glory of Michael Felps.

According to the shaggy, he does not really pay attention to the fact that his name, as a rule, is mentioned only after such illustrious swimmers as felps and piercerals. I am a different opinion. I always tune in to win, ”said Lokhte after Games in Beijing and added that one of his immediate purposes was a victory over Felps. At the last world swimming championship, which was held in Rome, Locht came first at a distance of meters in combination with a result of 1.

Thereby he beat the Beijing Record of his felps team, but has not yet defeated him. I must say that the shaggy personality is versatile. His interests and hobbies are not limited to the scope of the swimming pool. In addition to swimming, Ryan from childhood is fond of basketball, a skateboard, and not so long ago he began to surf. And everything that Ryan is taken for, he tries to do with all his heart.

As for the training process, here you can only be amazed at its endurance and performance. How much strength and energy do you need to train a day a day, while swim daily to 18 km, and so 6 days a week? But the result is obvious. Ryan is in excellent sports and physical shape, which is noted not only by coaches and sports commentators, but also by crowds of fans. By the way, upon returning to the United States, the champion of the Beijing Olympics with its athletic figure and a charming smile became the ideal for all Americans how the athlete should look.

Currently, Ryan Lochte's life is not only training, he is actively interested in the fashion world. According to a recently signed contract with the Ford model agency, Ryan decided to try himself as a model. And at the end of a sports career, the swove plans to become a designer.
