[kauflust]

that was a sickkkkkk race.

thought phelps had a pretty weak start, but lezak destroyed it.

[Guest No Handclaps Please]

phelps face while he was looking at the board and his reaction was priceless

and phelps will only get better at the 100m, wouldnt be surprised if he swum it in 2012

[chronoaug]

God. It's not even fair for that guy to be standing next to phelps. Are they both the same species?

edit: i think tonight, we should all look at our bodies in the mirror, then this picture, then kill ourselves

[Guest No Handclaps Please]

that kid had one hell of a first olympics, that's for sure

kid's a hobbit

I wonder what the backlash in the French press is like right now.

maybe one of our French members can enlighten us with the news in France

over this epic loss after guaranteeing a victory over the US?

[salaryman]

kid is a BEAST. rarely see gold medal swimmers that short.

true, but phelps is also standing on the platform. a specimen none the less.

the race was in-fucking-credible. if australia could have kept up the pace their first dude put up, they would have killed it. it's also incredible that three top teams (USA, France, Australia) all CRUSHED the world record. lezak is an animal. the hope for phelps' eight golds is still alive!

USA ALL THE WAY!

[Leonard Leroy]

ya i just randomly tuned into the olympics and was greeted with this.

very, very exciting, i see this being in the highlights for the 2012 olympic promos with nickelback played over it.

Phelps split 47.51... American record and only .01 behind the WR before Sullivan smashed it. He went pretty well.

This makes up for fucking Kitajima's victory. Fucking cheater fuck.

[Leonard Leroy]

say again cheat?

[kwiteaboy]

Illegal dolphin kick on start and turn in Athens leads him to outtouch Hansen. Cheater.

got an article or video or anything on this?

That won't make much sense if you're not a swimmer, but right before the pulldown, he does a HUGE downward dolphin kick. It was illegal at the time, but legalized a few months later. His screams when he wins make me so mad.

Yeah, I meant his actual start off the blocks. He swam well though.

Anyway, was crazy seeing a black guy on the relay team, Cullen is legit.

yea i swam in high school. didnt know kitajima was the poster boy for this thing though.

[kwiteaboy]

Yeah, he especially burns me because I was a pretty serious breaststroker for 12 years. Too bad the Norwegian couldn't pull it out.

[who8mahrice]

Regardless of his dolphin kick or not, Kitajima is a beast. Less than 5'10" and swimming like that? Since you are/were a swimmer, you should still realize his ability for that. Fuck, being 5'7", I was already falling behind at the Sectionals level.

Hansen had a disappointing swim though

I don't have a TV....found it on youtube. yay.

nobody gives a shit about the olympics here. i'm american by the way, just living in paris.

[Guest No Handclaps Please]

hansen has a certain look about him that makes me have zero confidence in him. maybe he has sad eyes..idk but he looked defeated even before the race.

[who8mahrice]

So just watched it. I'm kinda glad I didn't watch it live. I think I would have died of a heart attack.

And I was thinking...the French lead (Amaury Leveaux) was wearing a TYR suit and not the Speedo LAZR. Based on its track record at all the major meets this year, it's advantage over other suits is undeniable. Perhaps had he wore one, the .08s gap would have been a bit different, yea? Oh well, doesn't matter now.

basically, it's just some "we lost at nothing, blah blah blah" (nothing new haha)

[Leonard Leroy]

US archery team is fucking ragtag as hell. It's funny really. Prep, a jock, and a redneck with fishhook in hat

[jeanunit]

Whatever... China is going to crush everybody

[kunk75]

this was awesome. now if team USA loses the basketball gold my olympics will be complete.

[Tisswat]

I don't understand how you can get excited about the US winning gold in basketball. I mean.. isn't it obvious that they have the strongest team by a mile, or am I overlooking something here?
