Heart Pounding, Children Shushing Action

I like the Olympics. I'm not a fanatic. I don't watch all day and all night but I like to flip it on every now and then or read the headlines. Watching amazing athletes accomplish amazing feats is always exciting to watch. But, I don't go crazy, I don't get invested in the outcomes, I'm just a casual watcher. However...

Was I the only one to tear up at swimmer Jason Lezak's unbelievable finish (and the team win) in the 4 x 100m relay??? Oh my God!!!!! I think even listening to the announcer yell would've been enough to send me over the edge. But, watching it? Now, that's what I love about these Games.
