ya i know, but it seemed like calvic had this arms extended way before phelps did. but i think phelps might have a longer reach. still pretty impressive.

i thought it was funny when you saw his mom holding up #2 like he got 2nd place and then she went crazy when they placed him 1st. haha

Watch the replay closely and you'll see that Calvic was closer to touching for a longer period, but Phelps slammed his hands at a high velocity to literally steal the gold.

Im getting tired of water events and volleyball, show something else NBC even if an american is not in the event. I have to switch to a spanish speaking channel to see something new. I cant wait for track.

The events are spread out, they dont just have them all going at the same time, or else it would be over by now. If you really want to watch equestrian, and we know you do, just go to nbcolympics.com and you can see every event live.

Nice (Y)

NBC isn't even airing track live... blah.

and yeah, that ****ed me off this morning.

anyone else getting that douchebag vibe from mark spitz?

He definitely touched the wall first. That gif does a good job showing it.

Calvic glided in the end to touch the wall while Phelps took an extra 1/2 stroke which is how he managed to touch the wall much quicker. Had Calvic not glided, he would've won.

It was an amazing race.
