Ryan Lochte Gets Emotional as He Fails to Qualify for Tokyo Olympics
Ryan also talked about the future of his swimming career. "This is not the last you're going to see of me," he said. "Whether it's me swimming in the pool or me going across the world, teaching kids how to swim and getting everyone involved in the sport. I want to change the sport. I want to make it bigger. So you won't see the last of me and I don't know if this will be my last race. I don't think so. Actually, I can say it won't be.
He continued, "I'll quit swimming when I stop having fun...I still want to race, but as far as another Olympic trials, I don't know about that. I'll be 40. That's pushing it. But we'll see. I mean, anything can happen. I can take years off and come back and be stronger than ever, who knows. But right now I'm just going to take this all in and go see my family. My entire family.", "Filled with so many emotions - but I don't have the words yet..
If Ryan had come in first or second place in the same race, where he holds the world record, and qualified for the Olympics again, he would have become the oldest U.S. Olympic male swimmer in history. He also would have completed a full career comeback following four years of scandal.
