The sickest swim I have ever seen

was Lezak's final leg. A body length down to the WR holder at the turn. Some would think, I have to hold on for 2nd place. Not Lezak. Where the hell did that come from with 25 to go. What an absolutely GUT CHECK. 46.0 split? Way to go guys. Way to go. I'm sitting here just absolutely amazed.

  • Are you really making fun of him, or criticizing him, for crying? I have cried under similar circumstances, and I bet a lot of other people--men and women alike--on this forum have too. Sure, it's classier to wait until you are in private to cry about such events, but crying immediately after you lose such a high-profile contest is hardly the poor sportsmanship that sulking would be. I mean, I didn't see him rejecting a handshake or anything because he was too busy crying. I am making fun of him for trash talking. I have been competing in sports my entire life and I have cried on more occassions that I care to recall--and am so emotional that I cried when Phelps mom cried on his first gold. So I am probably more moved to cry on any given occassion. My comment was directed at his big mouth. Has he not opened his big mouth, I would have felt for him as I did for Hoff when she lost by such a minuscule of a margin.
