RELATED: Phelps vs. Lochte Round 2 Thursday on NBC
U.S. swimming sensation Michael Phelps qualified for eight events in the London Summer Games, but will drop the 200m freestyle event, leaving him with a chance for seven medals in the London Games (he won eight gold medals in Beijing in 2008). Phelps, who has 16 medals (14 gold), only needs three more to surpass the 18 career medals won by former Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina, and he could become the world’s most decorated Olympian on July 31 in the 200m Butterfly final. Other key events for Phelps include the 400m Individual Medley on July 28 and the 200m Individual Medley final on Aug. 2, in which Phelps will race against teammate and rival Ryan Lochte in one of the most anticipated matchups of the London Games.
