Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte face off for perhaps the final time, while Katie Ledecky takes aim at her toughest event at the Olympic Swimming Trials on Friday (8 p.m. ET, NBC and NBC Sports app).
Phelps and Lochte will go head-to-head in the 200m individual medley final, each looking to make his fourth straight Olympic team in the event. Phelps is the three-time reigning Olympic champion. Lochte is the four-time reigning world champion.
Lochte was faster in the semifinals (1:56.71 to Phelps’ 1:57.61), but Phelps has looked stronger this week.
