I've never been as into a swimming race as I was by the end of that one. It was amazing, the announcers had completely written the Americans off.

wow...that was uncalled for.

Taking a potshot at France is ALWAYS called for, especially after the stupid mofo talked trash before the race. The look of shock on his face after the fact was PRICELESS.

then take a shot at the actual team for their comments and making them eat crow. "poor, stupid, gay Frenchies" make you sound like a classless prick. about on par for your typical aggie.

France has earned the right to be laughed at

even though without France Germany would have won WWI and the US would have lost the Revolutionary War?

Anyway, total choke job by the French anchor swimmer.

Yep, I saw that race. It was very exciting at the finish, and I am glad the Americans pulled it out.

The Americans had beat the previous record by 4 secs, but even the 5th place team came in under the previous record. Now that was a tight race.

and the 6th place Canadians were only 3 tenths off the world record from the last olympics. The suits are certainly increasing times.

That was the most exciting swimming final Ive ever witnessed. The announcer dude was like theres no way the Americans can beat the French, and for awhile it seemed he would be right. But the anchor dude (sorry the only person I know is Michael Phelps) muscled out the energy and determination at the end and pulled it off. Awesome. Michael Phelps- 2 gold, 6 more to go.

What makes this victory even sweeter is the French guys were talking their smack and it backfired. haha.

apparently, it's the combination of the suits as well as some new technology in the pool to reduce turbulence.

I did last night. I could not believe the anchor leg caught that guy with the lead he had. Absolutely one of the most exciting swim races I have ever seen.

I didn't know that. I didn't pay attention to the times when they were put up, but I heard the announcers say that even the 5th place team came in under the old record.

I saw that race as well. My girlfriend is really into the Olympics, and we were both off the couch screaming when we caught the french with 1/4 of the pool to go.

It was amazing!
