Well done boys!

Well done boys! And a new world record to boot.

ATHENS - The South African Men's 4x100m Freestyle Relay team proved that Australia and the USA are not the only superpowers of swimming at the Athens 2004 Olympic Games when they won gold and set a new world record on Sunday night at the Olympic Aquatic Centre.

And this via IOL (who took almost 12 hours to post the story...):

The victory was made all that sweeter after some trash-talking by the Americans at the practice pool this week. It was reported that the Americans had told the South Africans how badly they were going to beat them, but the green-and-gold team apparently laughed it off.

Viva!
