Video of 4×100 Mens Relay, Beijing: USA wins Gold

I had zero interest in the Olympics before it began. I happened to catch this relay when I was taking a break from work. It just sucked me in, how can it not? This is easily one of the great moments in sports history. The favorites France were ahead by at least half a body length at the turn with the World record holder at the helm. Somehow, somehow, American Jason Lezak managed to nip the Frenchman to win the gold. Incredible race by both teams.

Video is available on NBC but requires Microsoft Silverlight (WTF!!!!!!!!!!), if somebody is able to find it somewhere else, please leave a comment.

Update: Here is a link, with Italian commentary. Thanks Dek.
