Ryan Lochte's grandmother couldn't make the trip to Rio, but the 95-year-old's support still burns bright.

The five-time Olympic gold medalist swimmer shared a video of his grandma rolling through her nursing home carrying a DIY Olympic torch.

Lochte swims his first race on Wednesday in the men's 200 meter individual medley.
