Regarding the bachelor, with the Olympics nearly over, Ryan could now be able to devote more time to a relationship, something he could not do during his years of rigorous training (albeit its mother told Lauer last month that he "comes out on a night").
Wearing Speedos for so many years, the hunky swimmer also added that he would like to fly the new portable objects of his own making.
