Posted: 30 Jul 2012 09:53 PM PDT

LONDON -- The final rival for Michael Phelps is a 77-year-old gymnast whose athletic career ended decades ago. Tonight, Phelps swims for history, and with two medal races (the 200 butterfly and 4x200 freestyle relay) and two strong changes to hit the podium, he should end his evening with a record 19 career Olympic medals. That would put him one medal beyond Soviet gymnast Larisa Latynina, and firmly atop Mt. Olympics.

SI's Daily Olympic Briefing for July 30

Posted: 29 Jul 2012 09:51 PM PDT

LONDON -- After chasing Michael Phelps for an eternity, Ryan Lochte now chases history. "In the run-up to London, Ryan Lochte had been widely anointed as more marketable than Michael Phelps, owning magazine racks with a succession of crossover covers like Vogue," writes SI's Tim Layden. "But in the rush to call Lochte the Sexiest Swimmer Alive, his passion for gold might have been overlooked. It's a cliché, but applicable here: Phelps left Beijing with the biggest medal haul in Olympic history. Lochte, who twice took silver medals behind Phelps' golds and was eclipsed by Phelps's stardom, left China with motivation."
