I never thought I could be excited to watch men swim, but I was delightfully surprised. It was impressive.

It was sweet. I didn't think they would have gotten it, because at the last turn it seemed like the French had half a body length or more. Especially after that quote of "We will smash them".
It was incredible! I wasn't excited until I heard the announcer say something like "is he gonna do it?" I looked up and watched him gain that whole body-length. Simply takes your breath away.
If you can find the video of it, watch Phelps' reaction. His whole body was shaking!

It was exciting to watch, and we rejoiced with the team on their victory, but the looks on the faces of the second-place French swimmers was priceless, though I could see how much the loss in the face of so much expectation hurt them.

that was the greatest swimming race ever.
though I could see how much the loss in the face of so much expectation hurt them.
They were very cocky going into the event, though. That's something a good athlete should never have. I don't see that from Phelps and the rest of the US team as much as the French.
Then again, they lost by *that much*. It stings. I know. (one point loss in a non-athletic even in high school. ouch.)
