but I guess that event just made him stronger mentally.

his team mate did a GREAT job

Lezak was the unsung hero.

that's true. He has a great team to thank.

In this particular event, the US team once dominated seven times in a row but were dethroned recently.

glad to see them back, even if barely.

the good news is that there are some phenomenal swimmers from all over the world. it's a joy to watch that kind of competition.

Lezak!!

nethead, it is Lezak's best race ever.

he did an Ian Thorpe by trumping Bernand and depriving the hot favorite(French team).

Lezak was phenomenal
