Men's 4x100m Freestyle Relay

Familiar names in the form of James Magnussen and Eamon Sullivan poped up. Together with Phelps, Lochte and Cullen Jones from team USA. It was a fight between Australia and US from the start. Phelps was 2nd man, and Lochte the last, the one to bring them home. But in the very last 50m, France's Yannick Agnel out-swam Lochte to bring France their first relay gold medal. It was said that France looks set to bag to finish first at the last games, but American Jason Lezak touched first with his long limps and caused them their gold. Now France finished a good second ahead of team USA, their triumph roars and cheers fill the stadium. I kind of feel that Yannick got inspired from his girlfriend, fresh Olympic gold medalist Camille Muffat. "She's done it, so can I!"
