...relay in the last 20 years," said Reese. "This was a tough one to win, but those are always the best ones to win." For Phelps, who swam the opening leg, it means his gold medal count now stands at two, a fact that helps explain his almost primal roar when Lezak finally came to the wall. And things may get even easier: in his remaining events, Phelps is either the world record holder or owns the fastest time this year.

This is the sound of one of the greatest gambling booms in history. The casinos in Macau take in more money than those of the Las Vegas Strip and Atlantic City combined...
