Deja Vu all over again as Team USA Men's Swim Team was suppose to be challenged again or challenging the Aussies and in the end it was the same Scenario as the 2008 Final 4 x 100M Relay with a an exact Opposite Outcome.

With Michael Phelps running the 2nd Leg and Cullen Jones the 3rd...Team USA went with Ryan Lochte as the Anchor and it ended up biting the US on the back Side.

After Phelps got  full body length lead the French played catch up with Jones cutting it to a half a body Lead for the Americans then it happened. Remember in 2008 when Jason Lezak ran down the French to help the US win Gold. Lochte looked as though after the First 25 Meters it was in the bag but it was the last 10-15 Meters when French Swimmer Yannick Agnel, an he is probably named after French Tennis Star and now Music Sensation Yannick Noah (the father of See RED Chicago Bulls  Center Joakim Noah), not only closed the gap on Lochte it was though Lochte wasn't even moving any more.

Yes...the French had stole the Gold or shall I say took it. And unlike 2008 you could have put the camera away for a Photo Finish because it wasn't even close.

Look I am not here to 2nd Guess anyone because the Bluedude isn't qualified to 2nd Guess a Swim Coach if any Coach in Olympic Competition. But if it isn't broke...don't fix it. Phelps should have went last and Team USA knows that now. Why not because he didn't Medal the night before in the 400 IM. Phelps is still King Kong far as I am concerned and his Specialty is collecting Golds.    

NBC Sports Sideline Reporter Andrea Kramer gets a Post Race Interviews with all the Swimmers and Lochte says, " Being the Anchor in the 4 x 100M isn't my Specialty", or something to that effect after the Other 3 Swimmers including Phelps said we tried our best. Lochte admit it Dude ran you down Period. Gold, Silver, or Bronze....own it.

It will probably be Phelps running you down Lochte from here on out......
