Incredible and polemic in Beijing: Phelps x Cavic – 100m butterfly – 0,01 seg

The 23-year-old American phenomenon, who had appeared invincible as he set six world records in winning his first six golds at the Water Cube, displayed the sheer force of his will as he made up a deficit of more than half a second in the final lap to win in 50.58sec with Cavic second in 50.59. Serbian officials protested the result, but swimming’s ruling body FINA reviewed the race and ruled that the one-two finish stood. US team spokeswoman Karen Linhart said that experts from Omega electronic timing had reviewed the finish frame by frame on behalf of FINA, and “clean definitive frames” showed the result was correct. Cavic had challenged Phelps even before the race began. As the American took up his familiar pre-race stance alongside his block, facing the side of the pool, Cavic stood by his own block and faced him. The two stood stock still and staring until the starter called them onto the blocks, but at the finish it was Cavic who blinked, missing out on gold in 50.59. “When I saw the 50.58 and the 50.59 and I saw the ‘1′ next to my name, that’s when I sort of let my roar out,” Phelps said. As Cavic reached for the wall, Phelps gambled with one more stroke. “I actually thought when I did take that half stroke, I thought I had lost the race right there, but I guess that was the difference in the end,” said Phelps, who added he didn’t realize how close it was. “I had no idea,” he said. “I was starting to hurt for the last 10 metres. It was my last individual race and I just wanted to finish as strong as I could.” Australian Andrew Lauterstein was third in 51.12.
