I'm disappointed and disgusted at the "fans" who betray athletes just because they didn't win. Other athletes can have good races too, that's what makes sport exciting Michael Phelps stands behind Katie Ledecky in support of her after criticism from fans

So on my flight to Hawaii, a newly married couple sitting next to me noticed my Olympic Team Handbook when filling out declaration forms, asked if I was going to the Games, I said yes… and the husband thanked me for my hard work and for representing the US. 🥺😩🥺😭

My name is Zach Harting, I’m 22 yrs old and finished Top 10 in the World last year in the 200 fly and I am currently working on improving my streamline. You’re never to good or to old to focus on the basics.

I gave my 100Fly medal to a kid, roughly 10 years old, volunteering at the meet. His jaw dropped when he realized what I was doing. He comes up to me later and gives me a medal back and says "You gave me your medal, so I wanted to give you mine." 😭😭😭

I can only imagine how many people I let down by scratching the 50 back this am. I'm sorry. The timeline estimated 12mins between the 6l50bk and 200 fly. I could not, in good conscience do that to myself hahahaha. Let's redo the order of events at the next timeline!

I know y’all be “busy” watching football all day but swing by ESPN 3 from 1pm- 3pm EST to check out the 1st European ISL meet. It won’t disappoint. I promise. 😁
