I haven’t seen a lot of the Olympics this time or last time—they always fall right in the middle of a busy campaign season.  But after reading the French swim team’s trash talking about the U.S. swim team in yesterday’s paper, I decided to stay up late and watch the 400 meter IM relay race.   I don’t know much about competitive swimming, but I have to believe what the broadcast team was screaming at the time—that it was one of the most amazing comeback victories in Olympic swimming history.   Today’s Washington Post said the nearly impossible comeback, and the U.S. team’s ecstatic celebration afterward, was “as exhilarating a moment as there is likely to be at these Olympics.”  All I can add is: U.S.A.!
