OMAHA, Neb. -- Longtime rivals Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps set up their lone showdown at the U.S. Olympic swimming trials by qualifying first and second in the 200-meter individual medley Thursday.Lochte had the top time of 1 minute, 58.05 seconds in the preliminaries. He emerged from the pool limping as a result of the groin injury he suffered Sunday on the first day of trials. It has hampered his performances throughout the week. He has been getting treatment and tweaking the way he swims to compensate.I felt it on the first kick of breaststroke, Lochte said. Ive just got to get a massage, rub it out and hopefully Ill be better.Phelps was second fastest in 1:58.95 on his 31st birthday. His 7-week-old son, Boomer, sat on his mothers lap in the stands during his heat.I feel older, he said. My muscles arent the same. They hurt a lot worse this morning.Lochte and Phelps advanced to the 16-man evening semifinals, along with Austin Surhoff, the son of former major league baseball player B.J. Surhoff. He was fifth fastest in 2:00.26. Also moving on was Michael Andrew, a 17-year-old who has already turned pro. He finished third in Phelps heat and ninth overall.Lochte is already on the team as a relay swimmer based on his fourth-place finish in the 200 freestyle. He wants to swim an individual event in Rio, and the 200 IM represents his last -- and best -- chance after he was third in the 400 IM, one spot out of a berth.The 31-year-old dropped out of the 200 backstroke on Thursday to focus on the 200 IM.It was kind of hard watching it just because I love that event, but I did whats best for me, Lochte said.Phelps made his record fifth Olympic team by winning the 200 butterfly Wednesday.I didnt really sleep last night. I was wide awake at like 5 (a.m.), he said. I knew (coach) Bob (Bowman) was awake, so I started firing texts off to him, asking him questions. He pretty much just said, `Shut up and get ready for this morning, so I went back to sleep for a few hours.Four years ago in London, Phelps won gold and Lochte took silver in the 200 IM. Lochte won the event at last years world championships in Russia, where Phelps couldnt compete while serving a suspension from USA Swimming after his second drunken driving arrest.In other preliminaries, Jacob Pebley and defending Olympic champion Tyler Clary had the two fastest times in the 200 backstroke heats. Pebley was timed in 1:56.29 and Clary went 1:56.85 to make the evening semifinals. Ryan Murphy, the 100 back winner at trials, was third quickest in 1:57.35.On the womens side, teenager Abbey Weitzeil and 30-year-old Olympic veteran Amanda Weir were the two fastest in the 100 freestyle featuring a loaded field. Weitzeil qualified first in 53.58 seconds and Weir was second in 53.76.Dana Vollmer was third quickest in 53.80 and Simone Manuel was fourth in 53.84.Also advancing to the semifinals were Kelsi Worrell, Katie Ledecky, Lia Neal, Missy Franklin, Olivia Smoliga, Natalie Coughlin and Allison Schmitt.In the 200 breaststroke, Micah Lawrence had the fastest time of 2:26.27. Breeja Larson was sixth quickest in pursuit of her second straight Olympic team. Tim Tebow Jersey . Detroit and Boston are deadlocked, 1-1, and Tigers manager Jim Leyland could be forgiven if he was caught rationalizing instead of dissecting how his club could blow a 5-1 lead late in Game 2. Darryl Strawberry Jersey . The Oilers come in having lost five in a row (0-4-1) and 16 of their last 20 games, dropping a 2-1 decision to the Vancouver Canucks on Tuesday. http://www.baseballmetsproshop.com/mets-travis-d-arnaud-jersey/ . -- San Francisco 49ers linebacker Ahmad Brooks was fined $15,570 by the NFL on Wednesday for his hit on Saints quarterback Drew Brees last Sunday. Zack Wheeler Jersey . The 28-year-old from Calgary matched his career best after missing just one shot in his two rounds of shooting in the mens 10-kilometre sprint competition. Smith finished in 23 minutes 15. Matt Harvey Jersey . William Carrier opened the scoring for Cape Breton (6-4-2), but Andrew Ryan tied the game and Brent Andrews put the Mooseheads (8-6-0) in front for good with a short-handed goal at 13:49 of the second period. PARIS -- If Lyon wants to challenge for the French league title it must learn how to defend, because frailties at the back were glaringly exposed again in a 3-1 home loss to Bordeaux on Saturday.Monaco took full advantage to move top of the league with a 4-1 win at Lille, with three of the goals scored by defenders.Earlier, long-serving Lyon president Jean-Michel Aulas watched glum-faced from the stands as former France winger Jeremy Menez scored the third goal in the 90th minute, by which point many fans were already leaving their seats. At the final whistle, goalkeeper Anthony Lopes sat slumped against the goalpost with his head in his hands.Top scorer Alexandre Lacazette, who was involved in the move that led to Aldo Kalulu giving Lyon a second-minute lead, limped off near the end with a thigh injury.Its a nightmare of an afternoon, Aulas said. The result was very disappointing and we have more bad news.Lacazette is expected to be out for several weeks with a thigh injury.He felt a really big pain when he made a run, Aulas said. The doctor will speak tomorrow but were expecting it to be a few weeks.But it all started going wrong long before Lacazette limped back to the dressing room.Lyon was not closing down high enough up the pitch and sat back after the opening goal, leaving Bordeaux too much room.Striker Malcolm equalized, and Lyons marking was awful when Gregory Sertic headed in to make it 2-1 in the 71st. Just moments earlier, Lyon went down to 10 men when captain Maxime Gonalons was red-carded for a heavy challenge on Malcolm.The loss follows a defeat away to Dijon in the previous round, when Lyon led 2-1 before losing 4-2.But the warning signs were already there when Lyon lost 4-1 to Paris Saint-Germain in the Champions Trophy, Frances traditional preseason opener.Stilll, when Lyon won its opening two league games of the campaign -- with Lacazette scoring five goals -- this raised expectations that it could be a contender in the league eight years after winning the last of its seven straight French titles.dddddddddddd The signing of center half Nicolas NKoulou from Marseille was supposed to improve the defense, but the Cameroon international has struggled and was dropped for Saturdays match.To compound the defeat, midfielder Rachid Ghezzal was booked for diving late on to try and claimed a penalty.Although Aulas said he has total faith in coach Bruno Genesio, he added that solutions must be found ahead of Wednesdays Champions League game against Dinamo Zagreb.Bordeaux climbed up to second place with nine points, one behind Monaco.Heres what else happened in the French League:MONACO 4 LILLE 1Monaco welcomed back striker Radamel Falcao from injury, but he was not even needed.Right back Djibril Sidibe put Monaco ahead early on from a free kick, midfielder Adama Traore scored, and defender Fabinho made it 3-0 early in the second half before center back Kamil Glick added the fourth.Monacos hopes of a clean sheet were dashed when Lille defender Julian Palmieri scored in injury time.OTHER RESULTSGuingamp missed the chance to move level at the top when it drew 1-1 at home to Montpellier, needing an equalizer from midfielder Marcus Coco.Nancy climbed off the bottom with a 2-0 win at Lorient, which dropped to last, while Angers also grabbed its first win of the season against Dijon by 3-1, and Corsican side Bastia beat Toulouse 2-1.On Sunday, much-traveled striker Mario Balotelli could make his Nice debut at home to Marseille.
