International camel toe. ::snort::
Did anyone see the men's 400 free relay tonight? The French were favored over the Americans, and the French team went so far as to say, 'The Americans? We're going to smash them." The analysts were promising the French would come in first based on all the figures they had available. But no one counted on the 33year old leg of the relay swimming the fastest leg of a relay *ever* with a 46 secs. coming up to edge past the French swimmer.
You couldn't tell other than by computer who came in first, but yes... it was the Americans. My family was freaking out watching this race - first Phelps, looking for 8 golds swims, then a swimmer who's in the pool for the first time this week but who is one of the fastest on the team, then Cullen Jones, for whom this was his only race during the Olypmics (and only the 2nd African American to win a gold swim medal), and the senior member of the team, Lezak, the 32yo man. Unbelievable.
They broke the world record by 4 seconds.
And the nicest thing was - all teams shook hands after the medal ceremony, together with Australia, who came in third.
