the most amazing race ever!


It was a scorcher of a race at the *Ice Cube* yesterday with the men 4x100m freestyle relay.

A race where the top 4 (or was it 5?) finishing teams were INSIDE the world record time. How crazy is that??

I'm not a big fan of the American swimming team, despite all their terror-ness... But I take my hats off for the amazing swim by Lezak, anchor for the US team, who chased after the French (favourites to win) from half-body length behind to win by a finger. Heroic efforts!!

And what better place to do it than at the iconic Ice Cube :)
Definitely one of the highlights of the 29th Beijing Olympic Games...
