In case you missed it: U.S. swimming comeback

Already, we have a spectacular moment at the Biejing Olympics with the American swimming comeback -- specifically, 32-year-old Jason Lezak's rally in the anchor leg of the 4x100 freestyle relay where the French seemed certain to make good on their boast to win the event. The charge by Lezak, particularly over the last 50 yards kept alive Michael Phelps' bid for an unprecedented eight gold medals. If you missed it, here it is.

At one point before the last leg. All but one team was ahead or at the world record time. All 3 medal winners beat the world record. The USA beat it by 4 seconds. When people talk about Olympic highlight moments of a lifetime. This will rank up there!

Capt.,
It was stunning.
