Lochte stars in the pool
American swimmer Ryan Lochte dazzled on Day 1 taking gold in the 400m Individual Medley, but
it was a disappointing night for Michael Phelps as the eight-time Beijing gold medallist could only manage fourth.
Lochte cruised to victory in four minutes, 05.18 seconds, followed in by Brazil’s Thiago Pereira and Japanese 17-year-old Kosuke Hagino.
Phelps said: “I'm a bit frustrated, I'm not feeling that great. I just want to put this race behind me and move on.
"It's not the start that I would have liked to have had but I've just got to move up.
"I have a bunch of other races and hopefully we can finish a lot better than we started. That's what I'm going to try to do.”
Sun Yang was crowned Olympic champion in the 400m Freestyle as he continued to leave an indelible mark on the global stage.
