"The French Are Still In Shock"

One of the most exciting Olympic events of my adulthood... the famous U.S. 2008 men's 4x100 Olympic relay.

The whole race is here. Watching the entire race, with the backdrop drama created by the French who predicted that they'd "smash" the Americans, builds the celebration to fever pitch.

Without his teammates, Michael Phelps merely ties the Olympic record of 7 gold medals in a single Games. Jason Lezak deserves recognition among the all-time greatest supporting roles.
