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.

Sydney could have cross-town rivals Greater Western Sydney to thank if they go on to claim the 2016 AFL premiership.After their shock qualifying final loss to the Giants, the Swans blitzed Adelaide then Geelong to set up Saturdays grand final clash with the Western Bulldogs.Young star Isaac Heeney says the 36-point defeat to GWS was a timely wake-up call for his side.We were embarrassed by our game against GWS but weve come out and really focused on the things that make us a good side, Heeney said.Weve just concentrated on playing 30 minutes by 30 minutes.Theres not one person who isnt playing their role. I think thats the key for us.Its all about effort and intensity. After the GWS game that gave us a little reminder that weve got to go out and hit them hard early.Heeney was Sydneys best player against the Cats, who they steamrolled from the outset with a seven-goals-to-nil opening term.The 20-year-old had 28 touches, kicked a goal and took several relieving maarks across half-back, appearing tailor-made for the big stage of finals football.ddddddddddddI just try to play my role in every match I play, but it was just one of those games for me - I really controlled how I prepared for it, he saidI just try not to work myself up too much before the game and be ready and raring to go once the game starts.I feel like Ive been able to do that over the past few weeks.Heeney is unlikely to be overawed by the occasion, but the enormity of playing in a grand final in just his second AFL season isnt lost on him.Its ridiculous isnt it? he said.Its something I would have never imagined. To come into a team like this in just my second year is mind blowing.I pinch myself ... everyone obviously wants to play in a grand final but players can go their whole careers without playing in one.I just cannot wait.
