Great moment in sports history.

BUMP! Congrats to all of the hard-working Olympians at the games.

Is anyone else getting tired of Rowdy Gaines stating how there is now way the USA swimmers can win?

Of course, he keeps getting proven wrong.

He criticized Michael Phelps for swimming the 400IM preliminary too fast (he broke the Olympic Record he set in Athens). He stated repeatedly that "I've gone over this repeatedly and on paper, I don't see how the French can lose." This was after the USA team broke the world record in the prelims.

I appreciate the need to not overly hype anyone, but Gaines is so negative, I'm beginning to wonder what team he swam for years ago.

Of course, Michael Phelps is turning training laps faster than Gaines used to swim during races. Maybe it's just envy.
