August 16, 200818 yr I didn't think there was any way in heck that he had touched first either. But the underwater shot showed that he was able to swing his arms around in the same amount of time it took the other guy to lunge his arms forward. In what seemed like a violation of the laws of Physics, Phelps' fingers got there first. :eek: My daughter had to explain to me how that happened. :lol: The butterfly was always her best stroke, and she called it before I could figure out what happend. :lol:
August 16, 200818 yr I tell her it if you smack your hand, it hurts for a second, if you lose, it hurts forever.Now there's a true sports-mom! :thumb:
August 16, 200818 yr My daughter said, "You don't stop swimming till you hit the wall!" to the guy who came in second. :lol:
August 16, 200818 yr While his pre-race tracklist varies, Phelps has said that "I'm Me" by Lil' Wayne has been on his playlist in Beijing. The track, off Weezy's mega-hit "Tha Carter III" features the line: Yes I am the best/and no I ain't positive I'm definite/I know the game like I'm reffing it That's about the only lyiric that's printable on a family blog. Other artists that populate Phelps' iPod include: Jay-Z, Young Jeezy, Eminem and Outkast. (What, no 'Pac?) Occasionally, he'll throw some techno into the mix, but usually keeps things rap-centric. Phelps doesn't speak much about the specific songs he's listening to, but he did tell NBC in 2004 that Eminem's "'Til I Collapse" was on his most-played list at Athens. http://sports.yahoo.com/olympics/beijing/blog/fourth_place_medal/post/The-mystery-of-Michael-Phelps-iPod-playlist?urn=oly,101129 I guess death metal isn't good enough for one of the best Olympians ever. :cry:
August 16, 200818 yr An official protest has been filed by the 2nd place finisher's coach! Too bad...
August 16, 200818 yr An official protest has been filed by the 2nd place finisher's coach! If the IOC isn't going to investigate 4 year olds in gymnastics, they better not start doing their job in regards to this. It was VERY obvious that Phelps beat him, it was actually more obvious than the comeback relay race that the US won against France.
August 16, 200818 yr I just have a terrible feeling that they will take the race from Phelps. No way. The video evidence was very clear IMO...
