If I heard correctly, the guy that Lezak overtook in the final leg was the worldrecord holder for the 100. so you wouldn't expect that starting off with about a half length or so deficit at the start of the final leg, that the kid would be able to run him down. but he did. watching it live was one of those moments when you get goosebumps because you know you just saw something legendary.
since they broke the world record by like 4 seconds, it would be something like a 130+ beyer performance in horse racing. of course there would be allegations that the track (pool) was souped up because I believe even the fourth place team broke or matched the old world record.
