The two grueling Olympic 10K Marathon Swims in Beijing were truly special. The incredible pace set by the British swimmers (David Davies in the men's race and Keri-Anne Payne and Cassandra Patten in the women's race), the dramatic come-from-behind victories by Maarten van der Weijden and Larisa Ilchenko, and the (generally unseen) physicality of the event can be enjoyed - anytime at your convenience - on NBCOlympics.com.

"It was a typical race," said American Mark Warkentin. "There were bursts of speed and lots of physical contact."
