"We will crush the Americans... that's why we are here."- Alain Bernard, French swimmer, loudmouth, choke artist, chump, loser
Moments like yesterday's 4x100 Freestyle are why you watch the Olympics.
The US pull off a narrow, but decisive upset over the boastful French, the loudest of which couldn't get out of the pool after he lost the race for his countrymen. He has no one to blame but himself after the lead he blew.
It was a great moment, and a damn fine ending to the day. Worth waiting until midnight to watch, that's for sure.
