OK, I know not everyone on here is excited by the Olympics, but the men's 4 x 100 frestyle race smashed the world record and was friggin' INSANE! The French were supposed to win it and had a big lead going into the last 50 meters...then Jason Lezak of the US threw out all the stops and won it at the very last instant.

Haha, maybe...but it was still really funny. Before the race, the French said that they would "crush" the Americans. Nope! Hehe :D

I love it when someone has to eat their own words.
