kafka Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 Yeah what a race I just about jumped thru the ceiling. Even Michael Phelps was going crazy. That was worth the whole olympic games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The commentators were saying that the US was so behind, and they weren't going to win...then all of a sudden, Lezak starting creeping up, and then passing, and touched thew all first. So glad I saw it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VeniteAdoremus Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 I didn't... Did you see the 4x100 women's final? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CatherineM Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 He swam the anchor really smart. The French guy in the lead was too close to the lane marker, and the American was drafting for the last 40m or so. They were so close together, I'm amazed they didn't knock into each other. Helped him have that last push. It was the American woman in the race before that gave it away to the Australians that ticked me. She was first to the wall, but hit it with her palm instead of finger tips. That's a basic. Not a good way to lose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintOlaf Posted August 11, 2008 Share Posted August 11, 2008 A couple of great swims last night. The mens 4x100 definately took the cake (man I could go for some cake right now, but they took it!) The womens 400 free was also a great race, Katie Hoff (USA) just got out-touched on the finish or she would've had gold.
