I’m admittedly not the biggest Olympics fan but if last nights swimming 400 freestyle relay is a preview of the rest of the Olympics, they may end up making me a follower.

The USA relay team was lead by superstar Michael Phelps, who is trying to set an Olympic record by winning 8 gold medals this year. In order to do that, he has to win gold in every single event he has entered.

Things didn’t look so good for him during last nights race though. Coming into the final turn, United States’ swimmer Jason Lezak was a full body length behind the strong French swimmer Alain Bernard.

He didn’t let that stop him from making one of the best comebacks in Olympic history.

Wow!!This is what it’s all about. To those of you who think that the Olympics suck (myself included), let this be a lesson to you that even swimming can be exciting.
