That Boy Phelps.

Okay generally I'm not easily impressed by sporting achievements, records are there to be broken and all that, I mean honestly we come from a country where people with one leg and no legs compete side by side with the able bodied. But the mens 4x100m freestyle final this morning was amazing to watch.

I'm generally not that big on Phelps or the Americans but to see a race where the top 5, yes that's correct the top 5 teams broke the world record is once in a lifetime stuff. Imagine swimming a world record time and finishing 5th! That would f&$k me right off.

Never mind Phelps the swim by 32 year old Jason Lezak to record an "unofficial" world record of 46 seconds flat was incredible. Do this go down to your local Virgin active pool and try and swim 4 laps in 46 seconds seriously try and swim 2 laps in that time, freakin' amazing.

If you do one thing today watch this video, seriously do it.

Note: the video is only available to SA viewers I'll try and find one for everybody soon.
