More gold for U.S.
Ryan Lochte (Daytona Beach, Fla.) and Aaron Peirsol (Irvine, Calif.) gave the U.S. gold and silver in the men's 200m backstroke Friday morning at the National Aquatics Center. Lochte covered the distance in 1:53.94, breaking the world record he shared with Peirsol by 0.38 seconds. Russia's Arkady Vyatchanin, who led at each of the three turns, held on to win the bronze with a 1:54.93.
