Phelp's 7TH medal..was there some controversy over his 7th medal, or did he just win by a small margin?

Question

also, does anyone know where i can see a video of the race?

also, when is his last race, the team event??

Answer 1

Yes, there was. The Serbian coach petitioned against it, but the olympic committee wouldn't allow it, so michael phelps did win.

Also, i think you kinda missed his last race, cause it took place a few minutes ago, but don't worry the usa won!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 2

No, he won fair and square and the Serbian swimmer (who came in 2nd place) conceded to him.

Answer 3

I saw it he clearly lost to the guy. I think they gave him the win due to the record and history.

Answer 4

I watched the replay in the super-slow-mo and it really does look like the Serb touched him out. Enough to warrant a protest, but hey the Chinese reckon their equipment wasn't faulty.

Answer 5

It was a tight race and I believe there was the protest rule for a Olympic event last Olympics in which somebody lost because they didn't file the petition quick enough.  Now any close race is going to have a petition.
