The reason all the records are being broken is because of the newer swimsuits they're using. It's actually quite a controversial topic, they increase buoyancy I think. But whatever, swimming is gay.

that race was so sick.  I didnt think the US had a chance as he was a half body length behing with half a pool length to go. thats probably the highlight of the olympics so far, partly because of the look on the french guys faces immediatly after the race after they realized how stupid the US made them look.

Yeah that is so embarrasing for the french. The finish is intense. We just showed them the fuck up big time.
