Michael Phelps: 2 For 2

Michael Phelps swam the opening leg of the men's 4-by-100 meter freestyle relay, and teammate Jason Lezak closed with an improbable anchor effort and the USA beat a confident French foursome in Beijing Monday.

Phelps remains on course for a record-setting gold collection now with this second first-place finish in two tries.
