Ryan Lochte's quest to make the United States team for the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo is over.
The 36-year-old finished seventh with a time of 1:59.67 in the men's 200-meter individual medley on Friday at the U.S. Olympic trials in Omaha, Nebraska. A top-two finish was required for him to punch a ticket to Tokyo, and it quickly became apparent that wouldn't be on the cards.
Michael Andrew (1:55.44) and Chase Kalisz (1:56.97) led the way.
