I'm not really into the Olympics for the most part, but I love watching swimming, beach volleyball and basketball. Anyways, I was absolutely amazed when I saw the men's 4x100 free relay! France and the US were so close and Lezak was unbelievable in the last half of his swim.

Although my favorite is Phelps, I think Lezak is the real star in that event.

You can see that swim here. It is truly an amazing moment in the Olympics.

Oh, is he? I had never noticed him to be very arrogant. Alain Bernard was arrogant, but Phelps? Sure he's fiercely competitive and his unopposed force in the Olympics might give off a little air of arrogance around him, but he has come off as nothing short of humble to me.

I like him because he is an extremely passionate and dedicated swimmer. Like him or not, it's hard not to respect somebody who is so focused in their craft that they achieve unprecedented status with it.

And that's 8 gold for Phelps; 7 world records + 1 Olympic record. Yay for him!

Meh, I am not sure how anyone can like him. He is an arrogant ass.

12000 calories a day, 4000 from breakfast. He is quite the eating machine.

1 more gold to go for Phelps and he'll break the record.

It is rather predictable for the most part since Phelps is a really good swimmer, but he has had a few close calls. So it's rather exciting for me.

Olympic swimming is sooo boring. It is basically watch Michael Phelps win a gold medal.

He has a lot of them, but what Lezak did was just amazing.
