Anyone see it last night? Our last guy was about a second behind the French guy and he pulled ahead to win it. Pretty amazing comeback IMO, and it was 4 seconds below world record time.

The comeback is at 2:55.

That was the best ****ing relay I've seen in my life. Really, they were a ****ing body length behind, and beat them by .08 seconds. ****ing amazing. I thought Phelps would lose his gold and miss his chances to beat Spitz. :(

****ing awesome.

I love how the americans were all like "Look who's talking now, you french shitholes!!"

Somehow, Phelps raced the 200 m Fly 10 hours before NBC told me he would.

Hmmmm.

I was in some ****ing close races last season. I've beaten a kid by .003 in the 100 fly. It didn't show on the time board thing, but the computer caught the next digits. It was ****ing awesome. :D Swimming races always tend to be very close, often beating people by less than half a second in my experience.

Dumb. There's NOWHERE else you can see this footage now, so why the hell remove it from Youtube? Oh no, the mega-corporations will lose like 2 cents in ad revenue, think of the poor children!

Wow. ****ing copyright bullshit.

Anyone know when they are doing the shot put and discus? That is the only one I'm kind of interested in.
