What could his argument possibly be? "My bias tells me your technology is wrong!"


They'll probably look at the replays and since it's too close to call, they'll just say the touchpad indicated Phelps touched first.

The Omega timekeepers wouldn't even accept the protest. How could they?

CIELOOOOOOOO

Gold medal for Braziiillllll in the 50m

The first time a brazilian wins the gold medal in the swimming. Hero!!!

He destroyed, was by far the fastest guy!!! Not even close!!!

----

by the way, Phelps is amazing, the guy deserves to win all the 8 gold medals, it seems he has a lot of humility and is a very nice guy.

I officially call this a CONSPIRACY! :lol:

Omega officials have incriminating evidence that shows Cavic finished first, but they refuse to make it public because they are in cahoots with NBC to give Phelps his 8 golds and olympic history!

Great sportsmanship by Torres allowing the Swede to get back to the race.

Damn you got us! He's a holographic projection combined with properly placed explosives to give the appearance of swimming. Phelps is actually an acronym (P.H.E.L.P.S, Photographic Hologram Explosive LZR Projection for Swimming).

Can anyone tell me the exact time phelps will go for his 8th? eastern time please. I thought his race tonight was a 10:40, and missed some of it.

What a race that was, I was walking into a bar and they were all saying the other guy touched first, and I was like NO PHELPS NO, and then realized that they were talking about the replay, and I saw phelps smiling, and I had the same reaction.

Also, sorry for so many questions, when is the last day of the olympics?
