The USA 4 x 200m freestyle relay team DESTROYED the former world record by 4.68 seconds to take the gold. Phelps started off the relay, giving them a disgustingly huge lead. I was hoping for some drama like the 4 x 100m free relay but this was acceptable (*sigh*). Ryan Lochte [1] took over, keeping up the huge margin set by Phelps. He was followed by Ricky Berens and Peter Vanderkaay anchored the race.
...Russia took silver and Australia got the bronze. I know that was less than enthusiastic but there are more important things going on here than celebrating the motherland or the land down under.
This gold medal cemented Phelps as the GREATEST OLYMPIAN OF ALL TIME!
[1] Dear God, Thank you for bringing this man into my life... even if it is through the magic of HD TV. I still appreciate it.
