Tuesday night was the fourth night of swimming in these Rio Olympics, and what a night it was!  Michael Phelps, aka the GOAT, made his comeback official by taking the gold medal in the men’s 200 fly; Katie Ledecky made a statement by winning the 200 freestyle, defeating 100 butterfly champion and world record holder Sarah Sjostrom in the process; Katinka Hosszu won her third gold medal of these games in the 200 IM; and the finalists of the men’s 200 breast and and 100 free and women’s 200 fly were decided.  Before the action came to an end, Phelps was back in the pool, anchoring Team USA’s 4 x 200 freestyle relay and winning his 21st Olympic gold medal.  The action was epic, and if you missed it, or simply want to relive it before tonight’s races, all the videos from last night’s final session are below.
