5Me too, Amy! Watching Phelps' hopes for eight golds stay alive was amazing in and of itself, but the rest of the team was so ecstatic, as well. I loved it!

7The relay race was extraordinary and on a side note no disrespect to baby boy Phelps but the media really needs to temper there habit of over saturation especially when it comes something like the Olympics. I am 100% behind Michael Phelps and his efforts but there are other athletes competing as well.
8ya but the other athletes didn't pull their swimsuits all the way down there....and b/c of that I am not complaining about the pictures in the papers today!
The race was good too *heheh*
My dad, sister, and I flipped out, it was so great especially after the trash talk by the French - their teary reactions made it that much better!
9Damn zeze I just noticed the swim suite placement, I must have been out it, LOL.
10"it was so great especially after the trash talk by the French - their teary reactions made it that much better!"

12It was an AMAZING race! I was downstairs yelling, my wife was upstairs yelling, and the kids were telling us to keep it down so they could go to sleep!
13I missed it! I can't wait to get home to watch it on NBC or whoever has it online!
