Wow - unfortunately i don't have access to a tv but I did stay up late to 'watch' the omega livetiming site deliver splits.
Site of the night, so far, would have to be the mens 200 breast. The lead changed hands several times with Mike brown finally storming home to out touch 3 guys for the gold. Ok so we tend to abuse terms like 'out touch' and 'eclipsed the record' and what not but when the top 3 split very different races and ended up with 2:12.23, 2:12.24, 2:12.26, 2:12.79 you just have to wonder what that last 50 looked like.....
It was an amazing race to watch. Piper took it out hard but died on the last 50. The three medalists were all together for the last 25m and all three lunged for the wall at the last moment. I couldn't tell who had what placing until the electronic timing results came through.
