Miracle on (Melted) Ice

4x100 swim relay team.

Excuse me, that should be the world-recording holding, Gold-medal winning, French-smacking, wave-drafting, chest-pounding American 4x100 swim relay team.

HOLY FREAKIN' COW.

How is it possible to out-swim the freestyle world-record holder over the last 25 meters? That was impressive, improbable, impossible, impressive, unforgettable, unreal, unbelievable, unimaginable. I cannot imagine how Lezak pulled it off because I thought at the turn he was a goner.

Oi.

That it was against the smack-talking French...yeah, well that's just extra icing (butter?) on the croissant. Prenez que vous claquez les Français parlants! (tanks Babblefish for the most-likely hacked up and mutilated translation)

This will rank #2 in my Olympic moments behind, of course, the Miracle on Ice.
