And the US men set a world record in the 4x100 freestyle relay.

Michael Phelps won his second gold medal of the 2008 Games on Monday, with a victory by the United States in the 4x100 freestyle relay. The U.S. finished first in 3 minutes 8.24 seconds, smashing the world record by nearly 4 seconds, with France taking silver and Australia getting bronze.

Jason Lezak provided an incredible performance in the anchor leg, coming from behind to out-touch FranceÂ’s Alain Bernard.

The French had been trash-talking the Americans for the last few days -- but it looks like this year the US will re-establish its dominance in men's swimming.
