You should be able to see it on NBCOlympics.com.

More specifically, the swimming videos are HERE. You're interested in the one labeled 'US Men win 4x100m free relay.' You may need to download SilverLight to view (easy to do).

Edit: And a great article on why this particular race was so phenomenal - HERE.

I can't believe he reeled that guy in in the last 25 meters. What a race.

French have been talking trash. They forgot that America kicks ass. Lesson learned.

I love the olympics for moments just like that. The level of competition at these games is, well, the best in the world. You are bound to have spectacular performances be almost the norm. But that race was unreal. Not only did all three medal teams break the world record but the #4 and #5 teams did as well. Plus it keeps phelps alive to get his 8 golds. Yikes.
