If you didn’t see this swimming relay last night, watch this YouTube clip before it gets taken down by NBC. The first few finishers ALL obliterated the existing world record, and the announcers were saying it was the best relay they’d ever seen. I have no idea how Jason Lezak, the anchor of the U.S. team, caught the French guy at the end. But somehow he did it.
Here’s a recap from the New York Times.
Wow. People will be talking about this one for awhile.

we went to bed before it came on (drats!) but i watched it this morning with a big smile. That was awesome. The fact that announcer had already conceded gold made it even better.
The Women’s gymnastics showing wasn’t that great, but I guess they’re not out of it yet. Just sucks for a girl to do the same routine a thousand times and then have it count just once and she screws it up. That’s what i dont like about the Olympics. At least in our major american sports you get multiple chances per game or per series to get it done.

Jason - NBC has a nifty widget you can put on your desktop to catch all these videos in crystal clear quality.
