I have to say that watching the Men’s 4X100-Meter Relay was one of the most satisfying bit of sports that I’ve watched in a very long time.
Apparently, one of the members of Team France, Alain Bernard, was quoted as saying, “The Americans? We’re going to smash them. That’s what we came for.”
He was wrong. American Jason Lezak started creeping up on Bernard at about the 75M mark and by the end of the race, Lezak was first to the wall.
A Frenchman talking trash and the Americans stuffing it back in his face. I’m not sure which was more satisfying, the Americans rejoicing or the looks of absolute disbelief on the French team.
That was fun…let’s do it some more…you know, that winning thing?
