Who saw the Mens 4 X 100 Freestyle

Question

Michael Phelps, Cullen Jones, Jason Lezak, and Garrett Weber-Gale upset the French!!

Jason Lezak's 46 second split to inch out France was the most exciting moment of the olympics so far!

Answer 1

I was jumping on my bed, I was too excited! :D

Answer 2

That was awesome.  I knew would could do it.  I loved the look on Michael Phelp's face.  I was soooo excited.  I just had a feeling that we would do it.  The French thought they were going to smash us.  Well we showed them.  I loved the look on their faces when we beat them.  Go USA.

Answer 3

Five of the competing teams broke the world record and the US won by a fingertip. MAYBE and inch.

That's going to set the tone for the US in this Olympics, along with the basketball team destroying china by 31.

It's gonna be a great three weeks.

Answer 4

best that i have seen

Answer 5

I knew they won, but I missed it. I just saw the replay on NBC and d**n Lezak was incredible. And he doesn't even have a coach.

Answer 6

My favorite race of all times was the 1984 LA Olympics 4 x 200 free relay when USA's Bruce Hayes held off (and came back) Germany's Michael Gross (The Albatross) for the gold medal.

After tonight it's now the 2008 Beijing Olympics 4 x 100 free relay when USA's Jason Lezak came from behind to beat France's Alain Bernard (Previous WR holder) by 8 hundredths of a second for the gold with the fastest relay split of all time (46.06 - yes you read that right).

That was simply an incredible race. Did you hear the commentators make note of the USA's race for '2nd' coming off the final wall?

I've never seen someone (in international competition) come from behind like that before.

What a race!

Answer 7

THAT WAS THE BEST RACE EVER!!!! I LOVE PHELPS' REACTION!!!!

Answer 8

Me! And I loved every second of it. At first I thought France had it. It just didn't seem possible that Lezak would catch up, but somehow he pulled it off. At first I thought he came in second, but he made it. I wanna learn how to swim now. Truly amazing.

Moral of the story: don't talk junk, cause it could turn around and bite you in the a**!
