All the world records got shattered across many swims due to new suit technology as well as many other factors... the magnitude of the win is increased due to it keeping Phelp's dream for 8 golds alive, the French trashtalking prior to and the fact that it was come from behind at the last split second... it was a hell of a comeback, the French anchor just couldn't hold on and the American's stole the medal... all together pretty fuckin impressive.
