Quote:They are good for a laugh, at least. I wonder sometimes how these people can trust their ATM cards, cell phones, etc... The one thing of interest to me there was the point that Phelps did not touch the wall with both hands at the same time. Maybe Shadow can shed some light on this. Unless I'm mistaken, a racer finishes their time when they touch the wall in any way, not when the second hand hits the wall. If the officials felt that Phelps was reaching with one hand and pushing with the other, he would be disqualified completely.
I agree.
Another thing.
Kenenisa Bekele....what an athlete. One of the greatest runners ever (Gebresellasie) just 6th on the 10,000m.
