At the conclusion of that phenomenally exciting swim relay where the US beat the Aussies by a fingertip. Please tell me all the swimmers were gesturing "We're #1!" Because I have my doubts about one person in the front centre. Like I say. Tell me I'm wrong.

Your wrong....I saw it too but if you watch the replay he was using his index finger and also sticking his thumb up which when I first saw it and even the second time thought it was something that it wasn't.

You are wrong.
I don't think anyone at that level of competition would be that lacking in grace.

Thank goodness. It was early in the morning and I hadn't had my first cup of coffee. Your eyes can play tricks on you. What a race though

It was his index fingers. And man WHAT A RACE. That was awesome. I think I held my breath for the last 200 meters.

I thought I saw the same thing but it was just the odd angle, I hope.

Phelps is not that type of guy. He just has really long fingers. You are wrong.

That was the greatest race I've ever seen. I mean how Kel held on I don't know. As soon as Thorpe jumped in the water the lead the Americans had was completely erased. Whew. It was amazing. Phelps had a good lead off leg but it was really the team and Kel, I think he's swam faster than he's ever swam before.

Does it bother any one else that in the time it took the relay teams to swim 400 meters its the same time as it takes me to swim 100 meters? What's going on here?

What a race. I even ditched my evening swim to watch it. Whew. I'm still tingling!

Oh yeah.I heard about this. She did it to her fellow German countrymen for not letting another person join the team or something. Weird.

Those loco Germans.

LOL! Classy!

The article doesn't say why her lover was excluded. Does anyone know?

Well, if they let one lesbian race, I don't think her sexuality is the problem.
