That was an incredible race. When they made that last turn I was almost resigned to coming in 2nd. He made up a huge deficit. France was talking all kinds of trash before the race too. That was great.

That race was AWESOME!! I never cheer from the couch, but last night I was going NUTS as he started closing in. That's the best swim race I've ever seen! (Not that I've seen alot, but it was still the best.)

Actually 5 of the 8 teams broke the previous world record during the race. Beating the French by 0.08 seconds in a 3+ minute race is just phenomenal. I was jumping up and down like a fool too. What a finish!

I know what you all mean. I am no hardcore swimming fan either and I was jumping up in the air yelling. When he came back I had goose bumps. I knew Mike would know the story and reply.

The French said they came to smash the Americans.

After that talk now silver doesn’t look too good.

That’s the feeling of the Olympics. The opening ceremony was phenomenal.
