Dominant is Lezak's time of 46.06 in the relay after Phelps swam a 47.51.

Even those of us who only watch swimming every 4 years know that a 1.45 seconds is a freaking HUGE margin in a 100m race.

Lezak did swim out of his mind, but you realize Phelps 47.51 is (or at least was at the time) and American record (because only the first leg can count for records since it comes with the standing start)?

What a fucking slouch. Only set the American record in that one. Not even a world record.
