I have to admit, I’m not much of a sports fan so I haven’t really been keeping up on the hours and hours of Olympics footage that’s been broadcast on TV and online. When I heard that USA rocked the 4x100m free relay, I went to NBC’s Olympic website to watch the video and let me tell you, if you haven’t caught the race, check it out. This is one of those crazy-intense races you see in the movies only in this case, it’s the real deal. Congratulations Michael Phelps, Garrett Weber-Gale, Cullen Jones and Jason Lezak!
