27. Lezak is the one who did it tonight.

They all did great, of course, but Lezak is the one that won the race for them instead of coming in second.

20. That's about the prelims ... they WON the finals breaking the WR again - by 4 seconds.

Hint: It's "Monday morning" in Beijing .... 12 hours later than EDT. Midnight Sunday here is noon Monday there.

Here:

The Americans shattered the world record their "B" team set the previous day in the preliminaries, finishing in 3 minute, 8.24 seconds — nearly 4 seconds below the 15-hour-old mark of 3:12.23.
<snip>
The French were second in 3:08.32 — eight-one-hundredths of a second behind. Australia took the bronze in 3:09.91.

The top five all went below the record set Sunday.

19. I was screaming my rear end off in joy!

THAT was one of the greatest moments in Olympic history! Jason Lezak was just AWESOME!

USA!!! USA!!! USA!!!

[Malikshah]

22. So true-- it was an unbelievable come from behind win

Lezak was phenomenal-- and with one of the four being an Olympics newbie, it was all the sweeter.

The shot of Phelps and Garet Weber-Gale were stupendous.

Congrats to Phelps, Weber-Gale, Jones, and Lezak-- well-deserved... 8/100ths of a second....wow

[nevergiveup]

25. I never think I am patriotic

until an event like this at the Olympics. Damn, that was exciting!
