The French talked a fair bit of game going into the Olympic 4x one hundred freestyle relay going so far as to say something to the effect of, "the Americans? We will smash them!"
Today, the Americans (especially the team's anchor, Jason Lezak) tooled the French -- along with everyone else -- claiming Gold in this event. A and I got all antsy-like as Lezak turned for the back 50 meters of his leg and found each other unexpectedly giddy as he clinched the win for the United States, mere tenths of a second ahead of Bernard (the smack-talking Frenchman).
Victory is sweet.

That sit was hot, wasn't it!? The best was watching Alain Bernard hyperventilate after the race, unable to leave to leave the pool. Effing French...
