The greatest swimming race in history. Going into the 2000 Olympics the Americans had never lost the event and anchor leg swimmer Gary Hall Jr predicted before the games that the Australians would be 'smashed like guitars'. The Aussies, featuring Michael Klim and Ian Thorpe were determined to use home advantage to make sure that didn't happen. This is what happened next . . . .

    Matt Target: Last Olympics finalist in 100 Free.

    James Magnussen: Most recent world champion 100 Free.

    Ian Thorpe: Actual Human/Fish hybrid.

    But I'm sure America will be fine... yeah...
