Before this week, I had never watched Michael Phelps swim...I kinda have this thing about hyped stuff...But - he is incredible to watch.
This race was the most exciting. (Couldn't find a video of the race; this is an explanation w/ pictures)
It's interesting because it was actually another swimmer, Lezak, who saved the day.
I saw Jason Lezak interviewed later, for a different race, and the reporter said something like, "It was great of you to win that race so that Michael Phelps can get the record of 8 gold medals in one Olympics."
And I liked his answer- something like: "I didn't win that race for Michael Phelps. I respect him and I like him, but we all worked hard and wanted a gold medal."

Sleep Deprived Due to the Olympics
This is an older commercial featuring May-Traner (sp?) and Walsh, the beach volleyball team from America. I saw them beat another team soundly-- I think it was the Norwegians. They are really fun to watch.
