After the 400M Freestyle Team from France bragged that they would 'destroy' them, the US Team came through in the finals of the 400M Relay to win the Gold medal.
Jason Lezak put together an incredible 100-meter rally to send the U.S. to victory in the 400 freestyle relay. Phelps swam the leadoff leg of the race, but France pulled out in front and seemed to have the race in control until Lezak touched water. Lezak made his push over the final 50 meters and snatched gold away from the French as the Americans shaved nearly four seconds off the world record they set in the preliminaries.
The victory kept Phelps on pace to win a record eight gold medals. Phelps also qualified for the 200-meter freestyle final and 200 butterfly semifinal.
