Its anthem played, over and over again, as the Americans received their gold medals atop the podium. AdvertisementU.S. swimmers have won the overall medal count and the gold medal count so often over the years that it almost has been taken for granted. Heading into the Paris Games, the Australians will be favored to win the most gold medals in the pool. Of the nine swimmers who won multiple individual gold medals, Katie Ledecky was the only American swimmer to do so. Still, USA Swimming president and CEO Tim Hinchey III has said the organization’s goal is to win the total medal count and the gold medal count.

Lumea sportului și nu numai a fost șocată, însă nu atât de mult cât a fost atunci când investigația poliției braziliene a descoperit că sportivul american inventase întreaga poveste. Lochte a fost suspendat pentru 10 luni, iar ceilalți trei au primit suspendări de 4 luni. Doar doi ani mai târziu, același Lochte a fost prins dopat și cariera sa a spiralat în adâncuri nebănuite. Sharapova a susținut că a utilizat în ultimii zece ani aceast susținător cardiac, care intrase pe lista substanțelor interzise chiar la începutul lui 2016. În urma investigației, lui Lance i-au fost anulate toate rezultatele și a fost suspendat pe viață din activitatea sportivă.

☆ Olympic swimmer Ryan Lochte went from earning millions to living paycheck-to-paycheck—here's what he learned
▼ + stars: | 2019-11-13 | by ( Kathleen Elkins | ) www.cnbc.com time to read: +2 min

Ryan Lochte knows what it feels like to be on top: The American swimmer won his first Olympic gold medal at the 2004 Games in Athens when he was 20. Between 2004 and 2016, he collected a total of 12 Olympic medals, making him one of the world's most decorated swimmers, and earned millions along the way. Two years later, Lochte was suspended again by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency for receiving an intravenous vitamin B-12 infusion. Lochte says he went from making "well over $1 million" a year to earning $75,000 from a single sponsor. The humbling experience has taught him that "money doesn't grow on trees," Lochte tells CNBC Make It.
