OH MY GOD!

HOW DID HE ---

I was like "Well, it looks like he's closing on him, but nobody could -- oh my god oh my god he is oh my god he's closing OH MY GOD -- "

Breaking the world record by four seconds is fucking impressive enough, but the way he just pulled from behind, wow.

I've always been a great fan of the human mind, but there's just something deeply impressive about seeing the sheer extent of what the human body can do. Wowza.

And they just won by a touch, right? Which means the other team was just about to beat the world record by four seconds as well. That's gotta kinda suck for them (France?)

One eighth of a second, I think. Which, yeah, would suck.

I'm still blown away by how he came back from being almost a whole body-length behind. wow.

The top FIVE teams would have broken the world record in that one.

Okay, it's got to _really_ suck for #4 and #5 then. At least France and Australia got medals out of it =P

I heard about it on the radio this morning. It makes you wish that you could give an extra gold medal to the final runner. I mean really, the rest of them were behind. :]

I stood up to cheer while watching. I made my husband stand up too. It was so amazing!!
