    Michael Phelps is having a good year this year, it's remarkable how many gold medals he is getting. He will probably be like the Buccaneers at football, do really good one year and then suck the next (though I doubt he will suck he will probably not get as lucky).

    He won because of the position of his arms... He was lucky and was starting to extend his arms, the other guy on the other hand, was already done extending his hands.

    Generally, unless someone is cheating, the swimmer who touches the wall first deserves the gold. Last time I checked, there is no maximum arm length for competing in olympic events. Unlucky for cavic that he didn't develop freakishly long arms, but he's gonna have to deal with silver.

    And congrats to phelps for 8 golds.

    Kind of,

    Jans, the only reason that phelps won was purely because of his long arms. he was behind him and yes, i agree that the win was phelps. but i think that cavic should have won it. cavic won the swimming part, phelps has like 3ft long arms so i think it was not fair. i see that PHELPS WAS NOT CHEATING! I KNOW THAT! I THINK THAT THE MEDAL FOR SWIMMING SHOULDVE GONE TO CAVIC THATS ALL! if you watch the new footage, you will see how close it is. and is, purely, nothing short of amazing.
