Michael Phelps, Katie Ledecky headline Rio Olympics swim roster

USA Swimming unveiled its official Olympic roster Sunday night, following the completion of its eight-day qualifying meet.

The headliners are those you'd expect, from 18-time Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps (who will swim three individual events — the 100- and 200-meter butterfly and the 200 individual medley) to the current world's most dominant swimmer, Katie Ledecky (who will swim the 200, 400 and 800 frees).

Eleven-time Olympic medalist Ryan Lochte and five-time Olympic medalist Missy Franklin both struggled in signature events, but rebounded well throughout a rollercoaster meet, resulting in this: Both will swim fewer events in Rio de Janeiro than they did in London in 2012.
