ok, I haven't caught PhelpsMania, but that was incredible. That guy botched the wall touch. He fumbled for it, while Phelps hit it perfectly. The girl from the UK who won the long race was even more impressive. It's prety damn tough to w]swim at full speed for 8 minutes
who needs to breathe when the race is only 20 seconds long? splash and dash.
Man have you ever swam 50 meters? My daughter swims copetively and the first time she came to a 50 meter pool at 7 years old, she told me Dad I can't swim THAT!
I just told her it's the 25 meter pool twice without turning. She said OK. It ain't no easy feat dude, if you can can do it that's awesome.

more times than i can count. as i said it's 20 seconds. can you not hold your breath for 20 seconds?
50 mtrs isnt really any big thing if you can swim. and i can swim. i can't swim it in 20 seconds though. i do it in about 40secs which is not that great.

I can do it too but it's still pretty amazing stuff these athletes are doing.
i still cant see that phelps won . they have a under water cam . if they would just show that ....
At 1/100th of a second difference one won't be able to tell with the naked eye. It comes down who touch that pad hard enough to stop the Omega time clock. Just too fast to see

Super slow mo cam made it look like Phelps was still in the half stroke when Cavics' hands looked like it was on the wall.
if we let the chinese get away with their 12 year old gymnasts then they sure as hell better give us another phelps gold! im sure the serb with go shopping at armani exchange, hit up the clubs, and get over the loss

Watching Phelps go has certainly been entertaining and he's amazing, but tonight Usain Bolt did something out of this world.
It's a shame that they don't have as many events in short distance running as they do in swimming. If they would run 100 metres and 200 metres each once backwards, once with their hands tied and then run one with both combined or something it would be possible for others to achieve as many golds as in swimming. They just have too damn many similar types of swimming events there, compared to other sports in the olympics.

- 100m breaststroke Men
- 100m butterfly Men
- 100m freestyle Men
- 200m backstroke Men

I was born in Jamaica & Usain Bolt has been amazing so far.
Don't forget the 50 meter freestyle. All those strokes are beatiful and more difficult to swim than they appear.

True, it's not a swim in the park fountain for sure, but just compared to other olympic sports many swimming events are similar enough so that it's possible to fit them all in one training schedule. It's hard to come up with any other sport where winning 8 medals can be done during single Olympics. 100 Metres running is so different with 400 metres that the runners can usually do 100 and 200 or 200 and 400 at the top level and couple of relays.
Maybe someone with nerves of steel and a perfect eye-hand coordination could train all shooting events, but i don't think anyone could handle the pressure, not to mention all the different techniques involved.

I wonder what were the odds of MP going 8 for 8? I gather SPEEDO was betting against it but what a nice bonus for all that work.
