It's Official: The Olympics Are Awesome

Another hat tip to Awful Announcing, who has posted the video of one of the best moments I've ever seen in an Olympics. The man you need to remember is Jason Lezak, who comes through with a moment so clutch, that for a minute there I thought I was watching Mike Rivera hit a 3 run double all over again.
