First if was our French friend Alain Bernard said that the French team was going to “smash” the Americans in the 4x100 freestyle relay. Well Jason Lezak had one of the best races of all time to touch out the Bernard to win by 8-hundredths of a second. Well last night (Aug 15th U.S. time) Mr. Phelps wins his 7th gold medal of these Olympics, he touched out our Serbian friend Milorad Cavic by 1-hundredth of a second. Before that race’s final Cavic was quoted saying it would be good for Phelps to loose, and good for the sport if Phelps looses.

So what’s the moral of the story? Talk shit to the U.S. and you’ll get touched out for a Gold medal…

Also as a side note I’d like to give a shout out to the “other” American swimmers who are swimming very very well: Natalie Coughlin, Ryan Lochte, Christine Magnuson, Aaron Peirsol and Rebecca Soni
