He did fine. You're just a racist!!!!

Answer 3

Yeah, maybe. But, they still won and that's all that matters! :D

Answer 4

Um.... no, while he may have had the slowest split for the U.S. relay team in the finals, he had the best split for the U.S. relay team that qualified for the finals, and this team also broke the world record.



Nathan Adrian 48.82

Cullen Jone 47.61

Ben Wildman-Tobriner 48.03

Matt Grevers 47.77

And on a side note he also had the second fastest split for the qualifying round only Pieter van den Hoogenband (47.17) had a faster split.
