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.

PHELPS 0.75 23.31 47.51 (2) 47.51
WEBER-GALE 0.06 21.89 47.02 (1) 1:34.53
JONES 0.38 22.68 47.65 (2) 2:22.18
LEZAK 0.04 21.50 46.06 (1) 3:08.24
In all the uproar over the swims from this race, I must draw everyone's attention back to the exchanges.
The total RT for all 4 swimmers was 1.23 seconds. Yes, that's right , ONE POINT TWENTY THREE SECONDS!!!!! The 3 relay starts were a combined .48 seconds. That is just rediculous.
I know people who don't get off the blocks in less than 1.23 seconds and these guys had a start and THREE relay exchanges in that time.
I still find myself just amazed at GWG and JL at how CLOSE they cut it. .06 and .04. That's about as close as you can come to a perfect exchange.
