thats the greatest swimming race Ive ever seen. The American guy MUST have taken a yard off the Frenchmen from 10 yards out - unbelieavble... they had no right at all to win that race.

oh - and apparently Phelps gets a big payout if he wins 8 golds... if he does it, I hope he gives a slice to the old guy who swam 4th in that relay.
And the local council swimming pool in Mansfield is now being renamed the "Rebecca Addlington" swimming pool...
Perhaps for the big countries they have so much success that a gold medal doesnt mean that much... but every single British athlete who comes back home as champion of the world is going to be a hero for me.
