Boy it sure looked like the serbian guy beat him to the wall on my TV. Got me wondering if Diebold (sp?) had a subcontract w/Omega to make the touch plates for the pool.
You really don't understand the magnitude of a Sam Hill thread do you? Do you realize without a Sam Hill related post, there will be hundreds of thousands of DHer's that will be bike less until they announce what he'll be riding this year. It's critical damn it!!!!!!!!!!!!

cool that you can see through water and can accurately determine things down to a 1 hundredth of a second....phelps just outtouched him...he had way more speed coming into the wall, and the other guy was trying to stretch it out.

Your watching on an old 13" BW right?
Initially I couldn't see how he out-touched, on live TV. BUT the subsequent FLURRY of camera angles does show his extra stroke and condor like arms gave him the touch...Plus it was reviewed, prostested (serbian delegation's call , not the swimmer from Berkely). Done deal. Makes the whole drama all the more riveting.
FYI the 7th gold (in one olympics) gives him a $1 mil bonus from speedo. A carrot speedo threw out there back on 2003. In the 2004 olympics speedo had insurance, this time , with his performances the last few years, insurance was like 90% of the payout. The $1 mil comes entirely out of Speedo's pocket.

Once again, a thread de-railed by the frickin DH guys to talk about what? Wait... let me guess... DH! Hell Brian I'm surprised you didn't take the opportunity to put out there a group invite to N* next weekend ffs!
(actually I'm amazed you had the time to break away to respond to this thread from your around the clock efforts to have BMX replaced in the 2012 London Olympics w/DH racing.... slacker!) :biggrin:
That's because all the road riding was out of the way after the 1st weekend and we have to wait another week for the mtb race
(note to self...put some gratuitous women's volleyball or pedophile inspired women's gymnastic pix in future threads to smooth out everyone's jadedness)
