Can you believe that he did it again?

Question

Ok so I know that Mikey Phelps is being called the best olympian ever.

I know he has the most golds ever, tied for the most golds in one olympics, and he is setting a but load of world records in the process.

For a while I was unsure about whether I thought he was the best olympian.

...until last night.

Phelps won gold in the 100m butterfly by 0.01 seconds. This is simply incredible.

It is very hard to comprehend winning by a tenth of a second let alone a one hundredth of a second.

But somehow, he pulled it off. And the touch pad does not lie.

Now I am convinced. Mikey is definitely the best olympian ever in my eyes.

Answer 1

Oh My Gosh I know I saw that race last night and it was unbelievable I really thought that the other dude was going to win because he was ahead the whole time but "Mikey" took the another stroke which is why I think he won it was AWESOME. HE really is like the best olympian.

Answer 2

He is incredible. I knew he would come back on the second half, but that ending was phenomenal! I was amazed.

Answer 3

yup yup phelps is the new superman in swimming

Answer 4

The fact that he won but such a small margin shows that in the 100m butterfly he is barely better than his competitors. I don't get it.

Answer 5

ok.  and your question is?

Answer 6

Everybody thought he lost

The whole bar said.....AWWWW as the race finished

then YEAHHHH a second later when the winner was posted

barely squeaked it out with his last stroke

How bad must that other guy feel, he could have brought down the giant with one more stroke

Answer 7

OMG I SAW IT TOO. my parents didn't believe it but at the last second the guy who was suppose to be first took 1 long stroke to get there but phelps took 2 quick ones and if you see the replay from under the water he actually did touch it first....  

Answer 8

Yeah, it was awesome to watch. My husband missed it so I had to replay for him, because he had to see it. He's being called a boy wonder and a superman. I think it's amazing myself. He deserves a good nights sleep after all this lol. =)
