More Credit!!

Credit Where Credit Is Due


After the US mens ridiculous comeback in the 4x100 Free Relay, all the talk was about Michael Phelps. Yes Michael broke the American record on the leadoff leg, but the team wasn't ahead going into the last leg. They were in second by 2 body lengths the the French.

What is constantly missing from all the acclaim is the name Jason Lezak. You know, the one who anchored the relay and gunned down Frenchman Alain Bernard the former World Record holder. Oh and did I mention the fact that Lezak had the fastest relay split of all time.

Michael, you are the best swimmer in history but you can thank Lezak for keeping the hopes of 8 gold medals alive!
