After tonight Michael Phelps stands alone and for the matter the US swimming team, defending their gold medal, 12th total and never have lost this, and in Michael Phelps case he hoped would stand up, and it did.....the 30 year records goes down, and more important, a compelling win for the Americans.
The US lead most of the way, and Russia was a challange, and here comes the Australians, but here comes Phelps, superman with the great start, but with 4 swimmers bunched up it wasn't looking good, and then turbo boost from Phelps and then comes Lezak, and then the adrenaline just kicks in, and he just smoked them, and the single greatest performance gets etched in history!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1
WOW!!!
Phelps' group is in the water for the 4x100 medley relay. At the first exchange, Aaron Peirson is first. Brendan Hansen is in the water for the breaststroke and has a narrow lead at the turn. Hansen is going head to head with breast stroke gold medalist Kosuke Kitajima and loses some time at the 100 meter mark. The butterfly group is in the water and Australia takes over the lead with Andrew Lauterstein at the helm. But Phelps takes over the lead again at the close of the butterfly leg and Jason Lezak is in the water for the 100 freestyle leg. He has the lead at the turn. The Australians push him to the wall, but it looks like he's going to hold the gap and he does - 3:29.34 is a world record. Phelps gets his record gold medal haul!
He's got soul but he's not a solider, what a all around performance.
...so the question begs.
