Wow and here's me wondering why the USA acquires a reputation for arrogance in sport... :rolleyes2 - not that France is much better on that score (or the UK for that matter)The French Captain says that his team is going to "smash" the Americans, because "that's what we came here to do." He's the anchor for the relay, and is given a full body-length lead when he dives into the water. The US's final guy, probably their 3rd best swimmer, a guy in his 30s, swims the French Captain down in the last quarter of his leg to win by a tenth of a second? You can't beat that.
