*NEW* CONGRATULATIONS MICHAEL PHELPS !!!!! (DETAILS)

Michael Phelps got one back. The duel in the pool is officially a draw. After losing to Ryan Lochte in their head-to-head battle in the 400 individual medley, Phelps roared back to edge his rival in the shorter 200 IM, giving the U.S. a gold and silver finish in the event. Phelps just missed breaking his Olympic record in the event by four-hundredths of a second, but had enough in the tank to maintain the lead throughout the race and hold Lochte off in the final meters. Phelps took gold in 1:54.27, while Lochte came in at 1:54.90, after taking bronze in the 200-meter backstroke 31 minutes earlier. The race looked very similar to the gold that Phelps won in Beijing in 2008, as he took command quickly and never faded. Phelps and Lochte also both took podium spots in 2008 -- gold and bronze respectively -- in a race that saw Phelps set the world record in the event. Hungary's Laszlo Cseh took the silver in 2008 and bronze on Thursday. Michael Phelps got one back. The duel in the pool is officially a draw.
