Ein Königreich für das Video mit dem deutschen Kommentar!

I know we only care about winners, but it still seems undignified to ignore the team coming in for bronze. You'd only have to hold off the gushing for a few seconds.

How about the medal ceremony afterwards?

@PungiFungi

I included the tape of the medal ceremony when I had it. Sometimes my dad taped only a small portion of the medal ceremony and stopped the tape often. When I had only a short choppy version I didn't feel comfortable attaching it to the end. In this case I'm not sure if the medal ceremony was taped at all.

I about peed in my pants watching this heartstopper. Great race from the German

men, but an even better race from the American men.

[wegersfour]

What A heart stopper. I remember watching this on Television. I can only imagine

what it would have been like watching it in person.

I just got done geting instructed by a man that would have been in that race but broke his wrist he was a realy educated man on the technic you need to have!

That race was epic! I put that in the same category as Jason Lezak's race in 2008! Wow! Americans really know how to beat the odds! lol! I wish more people could see this race! Sadly, it will be lost to the younger generation forever!

but, at 2008 was only about Lezak's big balls, at 1984 had tactical, intelligence... and greatest balls. I remember Gross talking after, one of the best swimmers ever, power and elegance

Very long long time ago,...^^/~ But, REALLY COOL, precious, & fantastic video! They were soo, absolutely COOOOL!!! I love them, these guys forever and thanks for posting it!

[revpgesq]

was there, and Hayes swam his arms off to beat Gross, who swam like the freak he was... what a brave swim by Hayes, keeping faith the whole way even after being caught...

excuse me, you made a mistake in your description. the second place was a 7:15.73 not .63... In that case the second place was FASTER than the first place :-)

@Salamence3000

Thank you for pointing that out. I fixed it.

I was confident I'd made mistakes like that in posting the Olympic results. Actually, I'm happy only one has been detected so far, and it took 2+ months. :)
