Lezak brings it home

Everyone is talking about Phelps, but it was Jason Lezak, who, at the ripe old age of 32, is the oldest swimmer at the Olympics, and who reached down deep in his soul and beat the world record holder (Frenchman Alain Bernard) to bring home gold for the American team by swimming the fastest anchor leg of a 400 meter relay in the history of sport and the closest win - .08 seconds, as well.

"I'm not going to lie," Lezak said. "When I flipped at the 50 and I still saw how far ahead he was, and he was the world-record holder 'til about two minutes before that, when Sullivan led off with the world record, I thought, it really crossed my mind for a split second, there's no way.

"Then I changed. I said, you know what, that's ridiculous. This is the Olympics. I'm here for these guys. I'm here for the United States of America. It's more than -- I don't care how bad it hurts, or whatever, I'm just going to go out there and hit it.

"Honestly, in like 5 seconds, I was thinking all these things -- you know, just got like a super charge and took it from there. It was unreal."
