Michael Phelps Won 100m Butterfly by .01
really close battle

Michael Phelps was crazy, he fixed the gap that was made by his team member before he took off, by judging from the +/- meter

Amazing though, 8 golds... Props to him, he's probably gunna have a dinner with Bush or something

from what i read..
hes expected to make 30million alone from endorsements
at the same time..im readin figures anywhere from 10mil-66mil to be awarded to Phelps by the US gov't

but still
congratz to this amazing run
I must say, even with all the buzz of the pool in the cube not being olympic regulation and that it made the swimmers faster due to less resistance, Phelps is genetically built to be fast.

Olympic regulation sized pools are 2m deep and 8 lanes
the Cube's pool was 3m deep and 10 lands, thus allowing a better streamlined flow all around

as for Phelps..heres the fact..
he's 6'4
has the legs of a 6'0 man
has the upper body torso up of a 6'9 man
wing span of 6'7
size 14 feet, large hands

the larger wingspan and body gives him the perfect "triangle" for swimming, thus the now Speedo LZR racer watersuit does not work for Phelps.

Being double jointed at the knees and elbows allow him to kick faster and gives him a VERY LARGE advantage especially in the butterfly.
thus that extra half stroke at the end of the 200m fly was soo crutial.

I think bush already met with phelps n them. Kobe said in an interview the best moment so far aside from the basketball is meeting phelps, and LIONEL MESSI
haa

bolt is the fastst man on earth now
