Us Olympic Swimmer, 23 year old Michael Phelps swam into history with an incredible finish Saturday, tying the record set by Mark Spitz with his seventh gold medal by the narrowest of margins in the 100-meter butterfly.
Michael Phelps Wins 7th Gold Medal!
He got his hands on the wall a hundredth of a second ahead of Cavic – a finish so close the Serbians filed a protest and swimming’s governing body had to review the tape down to the 10-thousandth of a second.
“I had no idea,” Phelps said. “I was starting to hurt a little bit with probably the last 10 meters. That was my last individual race, so I was just trying to finish as strong as I could.”
Phelps stole the race from his rival Cavic by a last second overhand stroke that slammed into the wall. Calvic’s people screamed and hollered, and protested. But Phelps went after it and won bv any means necessary.
That’s A Winner “Way To Go Phelps!”
