My wife and I watched that last leg, between the TV replays and our own Tivo-ed replays, over ten times. Brought goosebumps every time.
Not only did Lezak make up a body length in 50 meters, he did it against the world-record holder, the guy who will likely win the gold in the 100, and yeah, the guy who did all the talking.
I particularly liked that the announcers kept pronouncing his name like "Elaine". Normally, that would bug me, but I took a little guilty pleasure in it.
