The Morning Swim Show: “Nine Days of Beijing” Relives Olympics — Day Two Recalls Epic 400 Free Relay

PHOENIX, Arizona, December 24. THE Morning Swim Show is taking a look back at nine days of the best swimming in history with our year-end series "Nine Days of Beijing."

Day 2 of the series looks back at the epic win by the United States over France in the men's 400 free relay, the barrier-breaking swim by Japan's Kosuke Kitajima in the men's 100 breast and Rebecca Adlington's win over Katie Hoff in the women's 400 free. Swimming World Magazine senior writer John Lohn was in the Water Cube and talks about the atmosphere during the relay race, and analyzes the other big races in the second finals session. Also featured is an interview with Adrian Moorhouse, who relives his gold medal swim in the 100 breast in the 1988 Olympics.
