When talking about the great anchor swims in Olympic relay history they always talk about Lezak in 2008 or Thorpe in 2000 but this ranks up there for Keller to hold off Ian Thorpe for 200m was incredible. And look at Phelps and Lochte they look so young just kids. LOL
As an Australian its good to hear an American with such great sportsmanship. Its always amazing to race you yanks - especially back in the day with our better swimmers.
Every now and then a total freak comes along in swimming - Phelps, and Thorpe! Two of the biggest. Fantastic last leg by the American, though. Really hung in there.
Anyone else here after hearing the news that Klete Keller was involved with the storming of the capitol?
Who else is here because Klete Keller got busted storming the Capitol?

I like how Ian Thorpe shows respect to the winners at the end, unlike others who just walk away
holy lord, is Ian Thorpe the man or what? best mid distance freestyler to ever live.

The U.S. had been the defending gold medalists in this event ever since.

Me too. I still watch clips of his swim just to see that beautiful freestyle.
Thorp did everything he could do great swim
first time seeing this race...pretty awesome..
For a veteran squad with all the injuries among them that was amazing. GG America.
Things go stranger sometimes, I just wonder how thorpe didn't catch at the end cos he was able to do so
What a match AUS vs USA.
I think we should call this relay team the Felony Four. Everyone on this team except PVK had gotten in trouble with the law.
yes! i've been trying to find this for a while!
Klete Keller was fueld by adrenaline and did *just* enough to hang on... wow, what a race....
