Less than 24 hours after finishing fifth in the 200-meter individual medley -- a race billed as the final head-to-head showdown between him and Michael Phelps -- 12-time Olympic medalist Ryan Lochte opened the door for future Olympic races between the two most decorated swimmers in history.He said hes going to retire after 2012, and I was the only one that said hed come back, Lochte said in a news conference Friday afternoon in Rio. And I think hes coming back again. He loves that excitement, loves that challenge on the block against seven swimmers. I think with a different purpose, hes going to come back and push his limits. Ill be back and I want him back because we push each other. USA needs this. Hes been the backbone.However, Phelps shut the door again after he won silver in the 100-meter butterfly Friday night, saying, I am not gonna be competing in four years.Phelps will be 35 in 2020, when the Tokyo Olympics will be held. Lochte will be 36. When asked if Lochte believed he would be the best in the world had Phelps been born in another era, Lochte said sometimes.But sometimes I dont. I dont want to be the Michael Phelps. I want to be the Ryan Lochte, he said. I do the hair, the grills, the shoes, thats me. Michael is an amazing ambassador of the game. Hes like a Michael Jordan. Im just being me. I dont know if Id be in this position if it wasnt for him.Before answering the inevitable questions about his dating life and the current color of his hair, Lochte also praised 19-year-old U.S. teammate Katie Ledecky, who already had won three gold medals in Rio before setting a world record in the 800-meter freestyle Friday night, calling her a phenom.She is going to beat my times on long-distance races and thats crazy, he said. Shes so young and determined and loves the sport. She is going to keep breaking records, no doubt she will. Cheap Authentic Jerseys . PETERSBURG, Fla. Black Friday Jerseys .

SEPANG, Malaysia -- Esteban Gutierrez says he is within his rights to push the blue flag rules to the limit in order to minimise the impact it has on his race.Gutierrez has come under fire this season for not moving out of the way of the leaders when blue flags are shown. The rule is in place to stop backmarkers becoming involved in the battle for the lead and the driver being lapped is supposed to move out of the way by the time he has passed the third marshal post displaying blue flags.Mercedes boss Toto Wolff accused Gutierrez of cruising around and interfering with the battle for the lead at the Singapore Grand Prix, but the Haas driver hit back saying he was entitled to do what is best for his race while remaining within the regulations.Im going to reply very simple, he said. The same way that Toto is trying to lose the list of possible blue flag drivers, and trying to put pressure on the FIA to be stricter on that and to lose less time, in the same way, me as a driver getting the blue flag, Im trying to lose the least time possible within the rules and without affecting anyone. So the same thing that he is doing I am doing it as well.I think it was spot on [in Singapore]. I think I didnt affect anyone, I didnt lose time myyself and I finished in front of Felipe [Massa], so that was the target I was pushing like you have no idea the whole race.ddddddddddddbviously, when you get a blue flag you want to lose the least time possible. I know that Toto said that I was cruising around, so obviously he hasnt driven a Formula One car, because it wasnt the case.Gutierrez admitted he was on the limit of what was allowed at the Hungarian Grand Prix when Lewis Hamilton was trying to lap him and flicked the bird at the Mexican as he passed on the pit straight.In Budapest I went a bit too far, and I know where the limit is, so Im playing with the line. Obviously every team principal wants their driver to be as quick as possible, so thats what I will do and I want it for myself as well because I was fighting for a position. Whether they compare me with other drivers I dont really care, because Im focussing on my own race and trying to do my own thing.Asked if it could damage his reputation, Gutierrez said: I dont see it as a danger I see it as a positive because its more publicity, I have to thank them for the publicity they give me.
