Michael Phelps and Ryan Lochte may appear to be fierce competitors inside the pool, but when they're not in the water the two are downright chummy.

Prior to Thursday night's 200m individual medley final, Lochte posted a picture of he and Phelps getting ready with a pre-game meal as the two prepare to face off at the Olympics one last time.

Phelps went on to win his fourth consecutive gold in the IM in dominant fashion, which made him the first swimmer in history to win the same event in four straight Olympics.
