Pwned!!
The Americans, led by Michael Phelps (left), shattered the world record set by their “B” team on Sunday in the prelims.This was an AWESOME race. The Americans made up a half a body length in the final 50 meters. It was a total nail biter and the difference was 8 / 100ths of a second! They blasted the world record. What was so great about this — the French were trash talking. Saying they were going to have no problem winning this race.Quote:“The Americans? We’re going to smash them,” Bernard boasted. The French also said that’s what they had come to Bejing to do.
Go home now.
