The US Men's 4x100 meter victory margin was 3:08.24 to France's 3:08.32--a mere 0.08 seconds. Eight hundredths of a second. Over the course of that four hundred meter swim, that means when the US swimmer touched the finish line, the Frenchman was *6.7 inches* behind him.

This > < much! Whooooo, that was close!

And the Americans beat the existing world record by FOUR SECONDS! Unheard of!
