For anyone who missed the 4X100 Men's Freestyle Olympic event last night, I am sorry. It was a masterful feat of athletic achievement. The men of the USA relay team did their country proud, producing many jump-off-the-couch victory dances throughout the land! The combination of Phelps, Weber-Gale, Jones and finally the 33-year-old Lezak brought home the gold in fantastic fashion. Oh, yeah, did I mention that Weber-Gale and Lezak are both Jewish and that Weber-Gale is an OSRUI alum?

Regardless of your feelings about China, its abysmal human rights record, support of the genocidal Sudanese government, violent occupation of Tibet, the country's environmental degradation, religious persecution or any of the other issues that make China a bad place for the Olympics, I am sure we can all find a bit of pride that the URJ Camps have produced a gold medalist in possibly the best swim race of all time. So a hearty mazel tov to the US team and please know that we won't shut up 'till you skip around the medal podium.
