I know he's a US Swimming icon, but he is really, REALLY hard to listen to sometimes. He gets so excited that he messes up names and strokes, but he also just makes crap up. Then spends 5 minutes trying to prove it. I may have to mute him! God help him if Phelps is going for # 7 and 8 by the end of the week!

    Actually, Sullivan did set the olympic record and the world record. Since it is a measured distance and he was leading off the relay, he is given credit for both. Michael Klim did the same thing in 2000. They label the relay as the 4x100, so the first leg is able to set world and olympic records for that particular distance. Doesn't matter so much now, since it was been lowered twice.
