Ryan Lochte's E! Show Starts New Movement: 'Swimming Awareness'?


This Sunday, the timeless question will be answered: "What Would Ryan Lochte Do?" In his new reality show of that title, Ryan will take audiences along for the wild ride that is his life — hanging with his family, zip lining with his friends and dating.
MTV News caught up with Lochte to talk about his most recent endeavor, and the Olympic athlete explained the show's main goal is to raise "swimming awareness" and make it bigger than it was at the Olympics.


In addition to raising the popularity of his sport, Ryan is letting fans into his dating life. "I'm a single guy, so, you'll see me going out on a couple dates on the show. You know, just trying to find that one true love." Well, he hasn't found that one true love yet, but "WWRLD?" will show him going on a date with his childhood crush, Carmen Electra. According to Ryan, she might be better than true love "I mean, that was like my little boy dream. I had pictures of her on my wall when she was on Baywatch."
When the show starts, don't be surprised if there is some vocabulary you have never heard before. "The Lochte Edge" refers to his still undefined fashion style, "Jeah" is his freshly patented word, and now the newest of them all, "Ryan Moments."
"On this show there will be these times when I'm doing the interview part and then I'll just go completely blank. I lose my train of thought; I'm in my own world. And we call those Ryan Moments." But, as Ryan sees it, that is the good stuff, "I want that on the show. I want all that stuff on the show because it's me. That's Ryan Lochte."
Lochte is already in training for the approaching 2016 Summer Olympics in Rio De Janeiro, but luckily for him, nerves are not an issue. "I've never been nervous for a swim or a race. I just don't get nervous. After the 2012 Olympics, after the plane touched down on American soil, I started thinking about Rio. I mean, it's a four-year process, and I've already set my goals for what I want to accomplish."
With 11 Olympic medals already behind him, the beginnings of a fashion line, and now a hit TV show, we are excited for whatever else Ryan Lochte has to show the world.

Prince Harry: 'I'll beat Aussies to South Pole'



Prince Harry says he will take part in a race to the South Pole, leading a team of wounded British military personnel.
The prince's team will compete against counterparts from Australia, Canada and the US.
In a tongue-in-cheek challenge issued at a news conference, the 28-year-old royal warned his competitors that the Brits would have some tea "ready for you when you join us at the Pole."
Harry and his fellow Walking With The Wounded teammates will participate in the 335-kilometer South Pole Allied Challenge in November and December of this year.
That may be the height of the Antarctic summer, but conditions will still be bitterly cold. The four-week expedition will see racers drag sleds weighing more than 68 kilograms and face extreme temperatures and savage winds.
Harry has already taken part in one expedition with Walking With The Wounded, a charity which raises funds and keeps injured servicemen and women in the public eye through feats of endurance.
In 2011, he took part in the charity's North Pole trek, but had to withdraw earlier to attend his brother Prince William's wedding to Kate Middleton.
During the news conference, Harry was given a red polar coat by adventurer Inge Solheim, who served as the North Pole treks' guide.
This time around Solheim will be the guide for the American team from Soldiers to Summits, which is made up of Mark Wise from Colorado Springs, Colorado, Therese Frentz, from Del Rio, Texas, Margaux Mange, from Lakewood, Colorado, and Ivan Castro, from Raeford, North Carolina.
