    Yeah, that 4x100 Freestyle Relay final was the most exciting race I've ever seen! So much for the French guarantee for gold, huh!?


    "How to clutch defeat from the jaws of victory" by France. Honestly, how did they lose that??!! That 4th leg swimmer just decided to stop with 10 metres to go!

    Yeah, and he was the one to say "We will crush them." I thought we were going to have to settle for a silver....congrats on taking the bronze, by the way!

    Hahaha, thanks but we're not a country that settles for the minors. Anything less than gold, particularly in the pool, hardly rates a mention over here. Our opening leg swimmer broke the 100 m record in that relay race and should win in the individual 100m coming up.

    The Thorpedo gave it away a while ago, maybe 2 years or 18 months ago now. Obviously didn't feel like training for Beijing. Retires from swimming very young and very rich.

    Still can't believe France lost it. They were literally winning with about 10 metres to go.
