Also wenn es die Wunderpillen gibt, dann hat Usain Bolt die wohl auch. Wenn der durchgelaufen wäre, dann hätte dan 9,60 gestanden - unglaublich!

Wie war das: haben die Schwimmer Mittel, die die Leichtathleten nicht haben ?
Wohl nicht. Bolt hats bewiesen.
Schade, dass er nicht rückwärts eingelaufen ist, wäre doch möglich gewesen. :Nee:

es gibt bereits Rückwärtslaufwettkämpfe, habe ich schon im Fernsehen gesehen, vielleicht ist das die Steigerung um dem Ganzen noch etwas neuen Anreiz zu geben:Lachanfall:

oder der anreiz, die anderen starter noch mehr zu hörnen/demütigen, und selbst DIE haben genug weggeschnupft!

aber diese rückwärtsläufe sind witzig anzusehen, sieht aus wie mit schnellrücklauftaste angeschaut!! spul so eine aufnahme mal vor, ist echt zum brüllen!

also mit dieser Goldmedaille für Michael Phelps in 100m Schmetterling bin ich aber nicht einverstanden! :Holzhammer:

Für mich war eindeutig der Serbe der Gewinner.Das war wohl nur eine huntertstel Sekunde aber von der Kamera unter Wasser war doch der Serbe mit den Händen zuerst am Beckenrand.Sowas ärgert mich jetzt schon wieder......Sauerei:(
der Michael hat doch schon genug Gold, muss er jetzt auch noch das Glück gepachtet haben:Nee:

Dann kann die FIA aber morgen kein Jahrtausendereignis feiern.
Ist doch alles schon geplant.

Ne, IMHO war Michael eher dran. Laut Zielphoto war der Serbe wohl noch 4,7mm weg, als Michael Anschlug. Die Bilder die man im TV sah sind auch wohl kaum detailliert genug.

Men's 100 Fly Finals

Milorad Cavic (SRB) came the closest to anyone of ruining the party here in Beijing. He was out ahead and did not fade. As Michael Phelps (USA) swam through the final 25, it actually looked like he wouldn't get to 7 golds. Then his touch; it really looked like he had made the wrong decision to take an extra stroke, but somehow, the hands of time were on his side. Even on the instant replay, it seemed almost impossible that he beat Cavic, yet his hand speed and the clock told a different tale: 50.58 to 50.59 and Phelps wins his 7th Olympic gold here in Beijing.

The Serbian Olympic Committee thinks differently, they protested the finish, but Cavic is not for it. "If it was up to me, I would drop the protest," said Cavic. "I don’t want to fight this. It is a gold medal at stake, and it is a difficult thing to lose, but I went into this competition to win bronze and I didn’t win bronze, I won silver. This is what the electronic board showed. I have mixed emotions about it. If I had lost by a tenth it would be different, but with a hundredth, I will have people saying I won, and that makes me feel good, but I am completely happy."

Mr. Ben Ekumbo, the referee from Kenya spoke on behalf of FINA aboout the protest saying, "Immediately after we got a protest from Serbia, questioning the arrival of their swimmer to be first. Under our rules we do listen to protests and make the review so before we could give an answer to Serbia I personally looked at the video footage from Omega and it is very clear that the Serbia swimmer touched second, it is an issue of stroking; one was stroking, one was gliding. Omega was in perfect condition and perfect order…it provides for the competition at these Olympic games. After watching the video footage we had a meeting with the team leaders…and offered them an opportunity to watch the footage. The rules don't allow for this, but we gave them the opportunity to see for themselves. "

"The Serbian team was satisfied and agree with comments of the referee," said Cornel Marculescu, FINA Executive Director.

Mr. Ekumbo continued, "If you are not happy you have room to appeal to the jury, but they were very happy with the decision we made, and accepted the decision."

Phelps received a standing ovation from the crowd here as his 7th gold was placed around his neck. The swimming world has known that Michael Phelps is the world's greatest swimmer for a long time, but now it is official. "When I took that last stroke I thought I lost the race there, but it turns out that was the difference. I'm just lost for words," said Phelps. "You know when I did take that extra half stroke, I though I'd lost the race. I think that the biggest thing is when someone says you can't do something, it shows that anything is possible when you put your mind to it. I feel a bit of everything: relief, excitement, everything. I had to take my goggles off first to make sure the 1 was next to my name…that's when I sort of let my roar out!"

"Perhaps I was the only person in this competition with the ability to beat Phelps one on one, " said Cavic. "This is a new situation for me, I have never been under this pressure and I am very proud of myself, keeping myself together and my stress level down. It is frightening racing Michael Phelps…and I know a lot of people had money against me…I expected he would go a World Record time. It was a real honor for me to be able to race with Michael Phelps and be in a situation where all eyes were on me as the one person who could do it." In answering whether he thinks he really won the gold he answered, "If we got to do it again, I would win it."
