So that means the French also beat the World Record.
I think it's great that we (America) got the gold and WR, but we didn't stomp anyone. 8/100's of a second was the length of a hand. If the French swimmer hadn't swung his right arm forward and just reached with his left, he'd have touched first.
Almost, I'd say we got lucky.
I guess with all the posts I've seen on many forums, I expected we beat them by a few seconds. There was FIVE teams faster than the last world record.
