SHANGHAI (AP) — American Ryan Lochte has won his fith gold medal of the world swim championships, easily finishing first in the 400-meter individual medley.
Lochte had a one-second lead Sunday after the opening butterfly leg and expanded that to two seconds over the backstroke and breaststroke legs before powering home in the freestyle to win by more than four seconds in 4 minutes, 07.13 seconds.
Teammate Tyler Clary took silver in 4:11.17 and Yuya Horihata of Japan the bronze in 4:11.98.
Olympic champion Michael Phelps did not race. He's taken the 400 IM off his schedule for the time being and isn't sure he will include it next year for the London Olympics.
