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.

I just watched the underwater video again. This is by far the most kick-ass race I have ever seen, in any sport. Lezak is the man!
I don't fault the French for talking trash either. I'm glad they did, that made it even more fun to watch. And they handled it with grace afterwards.
I was extremely excited watching this race, even my husband was cheering, and I am pretty sure he is super board when I watch swimming or water polo on tv.
That was a MONSTER swim by Lezak, it was simply the most crushing 100M I have ever witnessed. Utterly dominant, nobody could answer that performance.
I thought the froggies had it but Lezak simply did not give up. He fought back like a BAMF and won. Amazing.
In my opinion, I thought the American athletes represented us well in Bejing. Not only the swimmers but the gymnasts, fencers, and volleyball players have been good ambassadors for our country. There is nothing worse than seeing an amazing athlete act like a spoiled child at a big event. Thankfully, we got to see incredible performances and sportsmanship during these games from our team.
Well done.
I have that too, haha. I don't know how long it's been up there, so it might be old news, but NBC has the whole relay shown underwater on its Olympic site. My computer is a complete piece of crap, so this might be the wrong link, but you can find it here--I think.
