French achor is (Please Use More Appropriate Word) .... he let Jason Lezack draft him the whole last 50meters
being THAT close to the lane marker

If he moved over to the next side, French would have won

That was an incredible race, Bernard screwed it up for the French though, Lezack is an American Hero.

I know Phelps is going for 8 to break the record of gold medals, but is he "only" competing in 8 or can he afford to not get gold in one or more?

The athletic talents this year are just stacked, man I wish Ian Thorpe was still around, that would have been a relay.

Well, people get more knowledgeabe on how to train and how to perfect their event over time. But I was wondering myself if there are any unbreakable records.
