Quelle dommage.
In fairness to the French they didn’t specify which Olympics.
Looks like Kerry and Edwards down in the lower left hand corner.
The French “guy” in the bottom photo to the right... he’s wearing make-up and needs to pull up his pants.
C’est la vie de chien, mangeurs de cheese!
The French put up a good race...at least they didn’t surrender
Let’s not be cruel. The French didn’t lose, they came in a close second... like they did in that little skirmish they had with the Third Reich.
The only thing the French “smash” are their own how-many-days-can-I-go-without-a-bath records, from time to time.
Its so good that the French have enthusiasm.
Probably smartly dressed also.
Those new swimsuits don’t look very masculine. I would rather wear a short racer than those suits. Why don’t they just strap a motor on the back?
;)
The French were ‘stunned’.
Phelps and the American team were ecstatic.
Even the teams that came in #4 and #5 broke or nearly broke the old record (IIRC). That is how fast this event was.

For several events the commentators have basically handed other teams the gold medals BEFORE the event takes place. They have implied that the Americans didn't stand a chance of winning.And in those events, Americans ended up winning.
They should have gone with the old head butt technique.
