pulled a lezak

the act of saving a friend/colleague/fellow olympians ass by pulling off the textbook perfect save of a lifetime. Refers to the 2008 Beijing Olympics in which during the 4 x 100 meter freestyle relay the U.S.A. anchor Jason Lezak overtook his French competitor in epic fashion to win the gold for the US men and make Michael Phelps' 8 gold medals a reality.

Tom: "I am still in shock with how well that meeting went!"
Bob: "Tom, you nailed that presentation! Not only did you save our company from being bought out, but you convinced the investors to kick down another 100 million dollars! You totally pulled a Lezak in there!"
