HOW DID MICHAEL PHELPS WIN THAT 100 race????

Question

i thought the serbian won but what happened?? i am still shaking from nerve raking cuz i love michael and want him to do it.

Answer 1

He didn't

Answer 2

Its cause of his long arms, which right now, I bet he is THANKING GOD FOR!!! lol

Answer 3

Video doesnt lie. Phelps lost UNLESS you have to put a certain amount of pressure on the wall. Cavic obviously touched the wall first but did he hit it hard enough (any amount of pressure should set the sensors off though). can u say controversy. anybody that says phelps touched first is either american or not too bright. he lost but thats american politics for ya.

Answer 4

i watched it over and over and over again and everytime it looked like cavic won but i think they set it up so phelps would win his 7th medal cavic should have won and i think he truely did

Answer 5

GOD THAT WAS AMAZING

go USA!~

Answer 6

he is AMAZING and he deserved it! =]

Answer 7

phelps has very very long arms and he jammed his hands in before the serbian.  the serbian took wayy too long to hit it.  

Answer 8

Omg, that was exciting!!! I don't know how he did it but I'm so happy for him!

Answer 9

because his long arms reached the sensor pad before the other guy.

that happened to ryan lochte yesterday, he ended up getting a bronze.

Answer 10

Milorad won and helps didn't.  If you look at all the video and photos surfacing around the net it's actually showing phelps winning from his POV.  There was also a video floating around showing the replay from up top but to really get a better picture you would have to get a clear show from the bottom with no camera gimmics like a fish eye lens.  Here is the picture to prove that Milorad did in fact win but once again the Media gave phelps his gold because we're so obsess over his win.

Answer 11

touching the pads first

Answer 12

he pushed the wall a nano second faster.  the serbian could have & and probably should have won, but he hesitated for a fraction of an instant.  and that fraction = silver for him

GOLD for Phelps!!

Answer 13

he won cause he is the best and you can't mess with him.  he is the best thing ever.  one of my old friends used to train with him and he was the best even when he was a kid.  he grew up a few minutes away from me and he is the same age as me... to bad i've never met him.  i would cut off my left arm for one night with him.  

Answer 14

I am glad we have michael phelp in usa!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If not we would have lost! he has long arms to help him swim.. He is awesome best swimmer so far!

Answer 15

Sensors......
