Olympic Update: Swimming

Another gold medal, another smashed world record, and President George W. Bush & family cheering in the stands! Team USA out touched Team France last night in the 400-meter freestyle relay to win the GOLD in one of the most exciting races of all time. Every member of the team played an integral part, but it was Jason Lezak's performance that really shines! Lezak overtook the Frenchmen to win in 3 minutes, 8.24 seconds, breaking the world record of 3:12.23.

For Phelps this makes the score 2 down 6 to go...
