Jason Lezak's 'Its the Olympics - Go for it' moment

American swimmer Jason Lezak said, "When I saw the last 50 metres and I saw he (Frenchman Alain Bernard) was far ahead, I thought: 'no way'. Then I thought: 'That's ridiculous, this is an Olympic Games. You have to go for it.' This was all in the space of five seconds - I went from 'can't do it' to 'can do it' to 'done it.'"

32-year-old US swimmer Jason Lezak churned out an incredible swim of 46.06 seconds to help US win the men's swimming relay and prop up Michael Phelps' bid for a world record 8 Olympic golds. The US team of Phelps, Garrett Weber-Gale, Cullen Jones and Lezak shaved off almost four seconds from the previous world record winning gold in 3min 08.24.
