Jason Lezak had the most insane swim of his life to add on to Phelps legacy 8 gold medals. He was totally possessed.
-
Lezak's performance was one of the greatest athletic achievements ever. Sheer force of will, combined with skill.
-
This race was epic, even the 4th place broke the world record. Amazing 👏 🙀
-
One of the most exciting swim relays in Olympic history. That last half-lap by Lezak was unbelievable.
-
If Alain Bernard had been swimming in the middle of his lane like he should have, Lezak probably doesn't catch him. Lezak undoubtedly used the wake coming off Bernard to conserve energy until the final 15 meters, then poured it on to win. Smart, savvy move by a veteran swimmer in Lezak and a huge tactical mistake by Bernard.

video editing is very strange
-
OMG! The editing is so weird and creepy. It feels like watching a tragic documentary.
-
This should be forever known as LEZAK'S greatest race!!! What a stud
-
Why did a 3 year old edit this
-
why couldn’t you guys just upload the regular clip
-
Best race I ever saw. True example of team spirit.
-
Video editing is more painfull than watching france loose
-
I don't know why everyone hates the editing but I really liked it, it gave me that rivalry feels between two great teams.
-
This was so epic, I have to watch it at least once a year. The call by Dan Hicks and Rowdy Gaines is legendary.
-
I love how everyone's commenting about the editing and not how that was one crazy swim relay 😂👌
-
Very enlightening to hear the views of the French swimmers. It was such a letdown for them. As an American, I was elated with Jason Lezak's phenomenal performance.
-
Lezak's performance was awesome. His outstanding time, of 46.06 s, is explained by the use of a swim suit, the reaction time and mostly because of Bernard's draft. Bernard failed in swimming next to his lane and Lezak was very intelligent in taking advantage of it.
-
Why is the editing so weird?
-
And Lezak’s split of 46.06 is still .85 ahead of the current world record, so even accounting for reaction time, he would have the world record by a pretty big margin
-
Jason Lezak, with this race, cemented himself as one of the greatest, if not the greatest sprinter of all time!! Olympic history was made twice here in the same event!!
