I tried to stay awake last night, but couldn’t. I just watched it this morning, and boy, let me tell you. An amazing race indeed.
After some smack talk by the French 4×100m relay team, the U.S. seemed to pull out the impossible, beating them to win the gold by .08 seconds. BigUps to Mr. Cullen Jones, the 3rd leg of the team. According to Wikipedia, Jones is the first African-American to hold or share a world record (4×100 Freestyle Relay) in swimming. He is also the second African-American to make the US Olympic swimming team after Anthony Ervin. At the 2008 Olympic swimming trials, Jones broke the American record in the 50 meter freestyle with a time of 21.59.
The Frenchies were talkin’ smack and I didn’t even want to hear it. — Garrett Webber-Gale
