The 2012 Summer Olympics appears to be dominated by a narrative of rivalries. But what happens when two rivals are competing for the same team?
Ryan Lochte and Michael Phelps, swimmers for the United States, exemplify this narrative: They are teammates but also rivals; they will work together but also compete. John Powers is a sportswriter for the Boston Globe.

I was recommended this website by my cousin.
I'm not sure whether this post is written by him as nobody else know such detailed about my trouble. You are amazing! Thanks!
I was Captain of my High School Tennis team. The competition was obnoxious in the seventies, and I began to focus my energies on Frisbee where we worked together to become the best that we could.
I still like both sports and will teach anyone anything that I know.
