[charlie and algernon]

17. alright, let him go for that, then call it, lol

well no, we usually do well in track and field, i suppose the olympics can play out, lol.

[1]

18. fair enough...

:rofl:

[texanwitch]

3. Had to work for that one.

Neck and neck.

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

6. And the best thing about it - he will still be fresh in 2012.

I think I woke up my neighbor by screaming "Go Michael! Come on Phelps!" lol.

[Ava]

11. we were screaming at the TV too

:hi:

[VenusRising]

8. That was un-freaking-believable!

He is a fish!

[dancingme]

9. I thought that one was lost for him

I don't know how he does it in the end of each race.

[charlie and algernon]

10. uh oh, the serbian team has filed a protest

more details to come

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

12. He didn't touch the pad first - big deal.

But it wouldn't be the Olympic Games without a protest from a delegation.

[charlie and algernon]

13. lol, well said

it's a good thing they have the pad. If it were still based solely on those judges, they could possibly make hay.

[blueknight]

14. the touch pad dont lie

i also slowed it down frame by frame on my 50 inch, and phelps won

[Ava]

16. we slowed it down too

he barely beat him, but he did

:woohoo:

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

20. Exactly, Phelps touched it at the RIGHT time.

The touch pad does not lie, now what will their argument be next, faulty touch pad?

I am going on 4 years of my Phelps crush so forgive me for being bias :hide: lol

[charlie and algernon]

were the touch pads made by Diebold?

:rofl:

[BelleCarolinaPeridot]

25. Uh oh what if they tried to call for a reswim (although they won't)

I wonder if the speeds having hanging or dangling chads :hide:

[charlie and algernon]

28. Where's James Brady when we need him?

Turns out 3 of the swimmers touched the wrong pad.

[npk]

19. Well they have given Phelps the medal now

What the hell are they going to do, send a pre paid fedex envelope asking for it back.

:rofl:

[charlie and algernon]

21. idk, as long as Cavic is still there they can just make a trade

:rofl:

[Scooter24]

22. I went frame by frame.

and it looked as if Phelp's right hand just touched the pad before Cavic.

I'm sure the standings will stand.

[charlie and algernon]

23. NBC just said the olympic officials denied the protest

[1]

26. in your picture, it looks like the chinese swimmer touched first...

:rofl:

i love that pic!

[Scooter24]

24. Update- Protest fails...

Omega and the Fina technical comm. viewed the overhead cameras and finalized the results.

[npk]

27. Cavic should have won, but...

He coasted to the touch pad, while Phelps kept swimming all the way. Cavic will be kicking himself for the rest of his life.
