For the last quarter of a century, the American men have dominated the backstroke events.

Jeff Rouse
Aaron Peirsol
Tyler Clary
Ryan Lochte
Ryan Murphy
Matt Grevers
David Plummer

the list just keep going.

But not any longer thanks to the 1-2 punch from Russia’s Evgeny Rylov and Kliment Kolesnikov.

Ryan Murphy still got on the podium, though, and swam a great race.
