PHELPS GOT HIS 7TH GOLD!!! ?

Question

WHat do you think?

*Personally, i think he got it fair and square. He touched the pad first, and even though it was that close, they wire those things so that there is no chance of mistake. He had a longer stretch and Cavic took too long underwater. But thats just me.*

What do all you guys think?

Answer 1

I think this is why the Olympics and other important sporting events invest in techologny. He won!

Answer 2

i'm pretty sure he won fair and square also. i mean it is electronic and it should work fine.

Answer 3

I agree with you, Phelps won fair and square. He did his best, threw himself, touched the pad first, and beat Cavic by.01 seconds. What a great fight!

By the way, Phelps has won his 8th gold medal in the team relay-just like he said he'd get 8 golds. =)

Answer 4

that's old news

BOLT is the man now

Answer 5

I think it is only "old news" to some petty pathetic American-hating loser from down-under.

Phelps won.

FINA, the governing body of swimming, has a video monitor in there that blows any HD plasma out of the water. It is part of a video-timing system, two of them actually, trained so precisely on the arrival of a swimmer to the touch pad at the end of a race that it runs to the ten-thousandth of a second, a moment in time too small to comparatively describe.

So the Serbians and the FINA judges watched the replay. They watched it a few times. Watched it from both systems – one powered by cable, one by battery.

Indeed, even the Serbs. As incredible as it sounds, they all agreed there was no doubt. The question wasn’t even that Phelps touched first; it was if Cavic had managed to get there at the same time and share gold. The Serbs conceded. The protest was withdrawn.

Answer 6

Phelps won

Answer 7

Phelps won fair and square. He threw himself forward at the end, and touched the pad before Clavic. I think we should not worry and just enjoy another great performance from Phelps! =)

Answer 8

I think the touch pad is pretty accurate and plus there are judges watching on top. but i doubt they can see anything but there is a little chance that it could be wrong since he won by 0.01s
