Michael Phelps - it was the length of a fingernail...


Michael Phelps is sure a lucky guy. He got his 7th Gold medal by a split second...err more like 0.01 of a second. 50.58 vs 50.59 clocked by the silver medalist, Milorad Cavic of Serbia. Cavic was leading all the way until the last second. It looked like Cavic touched the platform first as his hands were stretch out first but it was Michael Phelps that touched the platform.

Wow! Unbelievable! He won by a length of a fingernail. If you did not watch the race, you just gotta see it.

Latest update - Serbia Team - Cavic and coach is obviously contesting the results and the officials are looking into it. But the prize giving ceremony is already done and Michael has the GOLD medal. So, let's see what happens. But from what I saw, it was close but I am sure Michael did touch first.

Your TV's resolution is high enough to show the length of a fingernail? Or you have super powers?
