Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps set themselves up for their second head-to-head
race of the London Games after both made the final of the men's 200 individual
medley. Lochte, the world record holder, blew away Hungary's Laszlo Cseh by
.61 seconds for the fastest time in the semis, but Phelps is the two-time
defending champion at the distance and will be looking to become the first
male swimmer to win the same Olympic race three times in a row two days after
setting the all-time Olympic medal record. He swam in the first heat with
Lochte and was .98 seconds slower than Lochte.

Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh of the United States dropped a set, ending
their 31-set winning streak at the Olympics, but still posted a 17-21, 21-8,
15-10 victory over Austrian sisters Stefanie and Doris Schwaiger. The win
moved the two-time defending gold medalists into the knockout round. They are
3-0 at the London Games.
