RYAN Lochte again got the better of Michael Phelps on Tuesday, but said his real 200m freestyle test against the 14-time Olympic gold medalist was yet to come at the US Olympic swimming trials.
Lochte edged Phelps by two-hundredths of a second in the semifinals of the 200m free, which Phelps won four years ago at the Beijing Games.
Last year, Lochte beat Phelps in the event at the World Championships in Shanghai to stamp himself a contender to deny Phelps an Olympic repeat.
Swimming in the same semi-final heat, Lochte and Phelps both hit the final turn a fraction behind Conor Dwyer.
Both burst off the final wall, Lochte grabbing the victory in 1min 46.25 to Phelps's 1:46.27.
