In a remarkable showing, I just watched Michael Phelps win his 7th Gold medal. It came down to just 0.01 of a second. It was amazing. Cavic, the guy that lost did so because he took his last stroke and tried to coast in with his arms stretched out.
It really looked like Phelps was not going to win even fresh out of the blocks. At no point did Phelps lead in the race. In the final closing second Phelps took two strokes to the Cavic's one stroke and that is what propelled him to the win.
7 Gold Medals for Phelps!!!
To taint this win, however there was a petition that has been filed on behalf of Cavic. The Serbian swimming officials filed this protest. To the naked eye, it appeared that Cavic was gonna win...but digital electronics and slo motion replay does not lie.
