Go USA!

I cannot believe I just watched history being made....
Team USA's men swim team just did the unbelievable in the 4x100m freestyle relay.
You guys make us proud!
Nothing is more uplifting, more energetic, more patriotic, than seeing the underdogs from your country do the impossible, right at the last few meters. You could see how red their muscles were from the sheer exertion...but you could not find any happier people than those four young men standing on the edge of the pool.
Well, except for the millions of Americans glued to their TVs.

Yep. That moment is exactly why it's so much fun to watch the Olympics. Did you see how the last guy in the relay seemed to climb on top of the water to out-touch the trash-talking French team? That was amazing.

The slow motion replays afterwards were the best.
