*What do you think about the raised protest, against Phelps as he won by out touching Calvic?*?

Question

I know, at the turn Michael was 7th, so I was swearing at the TV, haha.

But he did it! :]

Answer 1

I thought it was funny, i was screaming at the TV,  "didnt u see that above camera angle? they have the touch wall sensors for a reason! just give Phelps his next Gold and lets get on with it!!!" if i was him i would be laughing at that coach for protesting me. Tomm night is our big night, if he gets it i am going to take off work for about 4 days to celebrate!

Answer 2

It's stupid because they use electronic pads to determine who won the race so they detect the times as soon as someone touches the wall. And by that account, Phelps won by .01 seconds and he is still a beast!

Answer 3

The other guy was ahead but Michael touched the sensor pad first.  Even watching it from different angles its amazing how he did but he did! The coach should be protesting to his athlete not the committee.  Its not like gymnastics where they judge, this is whoever touches the wall first.  

Answer 4

It's groundless. I haven't heard the details but what could they base the protest on? He was first to touch the pads.

Answer 5

haha it was just on TV and they showed it and Phelps definitely just did touch first :]]  What do you think?

Answer 6

I thought it was c**p and I was beginning an angry email in my head if they took the gold away from Phelps. How can they question these electronic timers? Stupid.
