I don't know if all of you west coasters stayed with NBC's coverage until the end (luckily, ours ends an hour earlier being on MST right now), but the swimming commentators were able to isolate a very cool moment at the end of the 4x100 race...

As Lezak and Bernard were closing in on the wall, there was a moment when Bernard turned and looked at Lezak and Lezak returned the glance...as he pushed past him to the wall. It was AWESOME!

It reminded me of "the look" Lance Armstrong gave to Jan Ullrich in the Tour a few years ago just before he blew past him up the climb.
