Sorry this is so late. I'm under a tape delay as bad as NBC's. Obviously, tonight's big story is the end of Phelps' quest for eight. His final event is the medley relay, an event the US has never lost. The lineup for the US tonight:Backstroke: Aaron Piersol
Breaststroke: Brendan Hansen
Butterfly: Michael Phelps
Freestyle: Jason Lezak
Yeah, good luck beating those guys. Also on tap is the 100 meter final, a result we've know about for almost ten hours. Q it all up here.
