Olympics

Monday, August 11th, 2008

I had never really been that into swimming competitions at the Olympics, but that changed last night with the captivating performance by Jason Lezak of the US in the Men’s 4×100m Free Relay.  Comebacks in sports are usually pretty awesome and yesterday was no exception.  The narration by Dan Hicks was top notch too.  I wish I could call sporting events like that.  And the French team virtually guaranteeing victory made for a great storyline and heightened drama.  In a nutshell, this is why I’ve always loved sports. 

I had orginally posted the youtube link to the race here, but it was taken down from youtube bc of copyright laws.  Check out NBC’s website for the video.  ;)
