OMG ! OMG ! OMG !!! I will get to my weekend blog here shortly, but OMG ! I am so excited about the mens relay tonight ! DID anyone see that !?!?!???????
BEIJING (AP)—Jason Lezak outtouched Alain Bernard of France at the wall Monday to give the United States a victory in the 400-meter freestyle relay and keep alive Michael Phelps’ bid for eight Olympic gold medals.
Lezak overtook the Frenchman to win in 3 minutes, 8.24 seconds, breaking the world record of 3:12.23 set by the Americans in Sunday’s preliminaries.
France took the silver in 3:08.32. Australia earned the bronze in 3:09.91.
Phelps’ hopes of breaking Mark Spitz’s record of seven golds in a single games appeared doomed when the French took over the lead at the 250 mark. They were 4.03 seconds under world-record pace at 350 meters before Lezak, the oldest American male swimmer at 32, rallied over the closing strokes.
