i'm not sure if this video will show up outside the US. nbc is doing a great job of taking out all nbc telecasts on youtube. but if you can see it, this has got to be the best swimming event in olympics history. the look on michael phelps' face when jason lezak inched his way to the gold was priceless. moreso, the looks on the faces of the french swimmers when they realized that their trash talking backfired BIG TIME. to think that this happened minutes after katie hoff's heartbreaking loss (0.07 seconds to be exact) at the 400m free. AND, the win wasn't even because of michael phelps. the real star of the event was jason lezak who clocked in the fastest relay split in history at 46 seconds. AND! it wasn't just the US and France who broke the world record. the top 5 teams of the event did. AMAZING. this is EXACTLY why i love the olympics.
