I’ve gone nuts and screamed my heart out for the Men’s 4 x 100m Freestyle Relay, the Americans beat the French, setting new world record by 4 good long seconds. Golfer came to the room, asking if we could let him sleep. Pumpkin said appologetically, “it’s Mom ..”
Did you hear what the Frenchies were saying? Something like .. ‘oh .. The Americans? We’re going to smash them,” Alain Bernard said. “That’s what we came here for.’ .. hahaha .. The last few seconds were remarkable. Jason Lezak (a good looking dude) caught up and won – his anchor leg was a historical 46:06 seconds. Michael Phelps got his second Gold. Don’t miss out on his reaction! The roar is epic too.
I last timed myself, the 50m (25 yard x2, the short course) was something in the neigborhood of 45 seconds. Not too bad for an old bag, no? Oui.
There is something so elegant and beautiful, and gracious about the swimmers. Definitely not their nakedness. The way they create the water flow (breast stroke is excluded, sorry ..), the V shaped body .. .. It’s so mesmerizing and overwhelming.
