US Swimmer Ryan Lochte's Olympic window may be closing, but the 35-year-old says he's ready to push on another year after the 2020 Tokyo Games were postponed because of the coronavirus pandemic. "I was a little pissed off because I've been training my butt off and I've been feeling great," the 12-time Olympic medalist told the Los Angeles Times on Tuesday.
"This Olympics was going to be the most important of my career because of everything that's happened in my past. "But this whole thing is way bigger than me," Lochte added. "It's way bigger than the Olympians, it's affecting the entire world right now." Lochte won the first of his six Olympic gold medals as a relay swimmer in Athens. More gold followed in Beijing in 2008, London in 2012 and Rio de Janeiro in 2016.
