TRB05 1 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 I watched the underwater view frame by frame on my DVR, and my opinion has changed, I think he actually did get to the wall first, but it was almost simultaneous. Link to post Share on other sites

outsider13 0 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 Even though it was close and I realize that Phelps won, that other dude was just gliding and hoping to get to the wall. Kick your fucking legs or something. Geez Louise, do something to win rather than just coast in the water. Link to post Share on other sites
chrozzo 19 Posted August 16, 2008 Author Share Posted August 16, 2008 Hmmmmm.....If I weren't American ... I'd call foul.Chrozzo? See the replay?Oh well!U S A ! !U S A ! !FKIN A!!!i saw at my pub....everyone cheered!That was the sickest race I've ever seen. This was the first Phelps metal swim that I actually got to see live. Man, was it exciting. My heart is still beating; I'm not sure how he does it without throwing up. His mom looked like she had just seen a ghost when he won. What a swimmer.i thought his mom was having a MIlolthat. was. nuts.werdThat was ridiculous...I can't believe he came back from thatwerdEven though it was close and I realize that Phelps won, that other dude was just gliding and hoping to get to the wall. Kick your fucking legs or something. Geez Louise, do something to win rather than just coast in the water.yeah...well in previous races ive seen the swimmers look at each other during the race underwater.....the other guy just reached too early...and phelps took another stroke.....imo...thats what won it Link to post Share on other sites
king_tanner 84 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 From all the replays it looked like it was obv that Cavic won but Im hoping that Phelps keeps it. Oh and I would do NASTY things to Phelps' sister. Link to post Share on other sites

SlapStick 0 Posted August 16, 2008 Share Posted August 16, 2008 The over head shot I seen it looked pretty obvious phelps got it. Its absolutely unbelievable how he actually did that when his hand was parrell with his shoulder and cavic was inches away but somehow he swung it in but he got it. Link to post Share on other sites

Its absolutely unbelievable how he actually did that when his hand was parrell with his shoulder and cavic was inches away but somehow he swung it in but he got it.the underwater shot they showed before the relay showed Phelps winning... from all the replays last night though I was like 95% sure he was beat. They should have showed the underwater shot on the first replay.Anyways, amazing. Its impossible to be a west coaster and not know that he won before I saw it on TV which sucks, but it was still exciting. Brendan Hansen was a joke on the Breastroke leg. But other than him great relay. Link to post Share on other sites

king_tanner 84 Posted August 17, 2008 Share Posted August 17, 2008 Phelps right hand (Far left side of pic) touched first:Technically you are supposed to touch the wall in butterfly (and breastroke) with 2 hands at the same time so the replay shows that he should be disqualified lol. It also shows the horrible finish by Cavic, keeping his head up like that cost him the gold. 8 GOLD MEDALS!!!!! Link to post Share on other sites
