This 4x100 race is tough, you have previous winners South Africa, you also have an Aussie whom swims his leg in record time, and you have those bloody yanks who win.

Well done phleps and team.

You can't possibly expect to beat Michael Phelps. The man must have had some fish gene therapy. He wants eight gold medals this time, thinking his six gold and two bronze from Athens 2004 are not good enough.
