Mike Bottom didn't get his way. Interesting that Bottom will be coaching at U of M next year, where Phelps is a graduate.

I want to have his babies.

They showed the replay from 3 or 4 different angles. Craaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaazy!

Have my babies?

It was so intense. I couldn't imagine trying to visually figure out who won. AOL has it slowed down to frame by frame (one ten-thousandth of a second) and I still wasn't sure. But even at that speed Phelps was a blur!

SI's got some decent pictures of it.

Maybe Phelps just used his superpowers to temporarily turn the water to gel around Cavic. ;) It's weird how he just looks like he was in slow motion, reaching for the wall but not getting there. Picture #6 in the above link is a really interesting shot.

^^^^Miracle Finish indeed. Those are some awesome pictures. I didn't know there were windows on the bottom of the pool to shoot photos like that

I was working a baseball game last night, and when he won we announced it and the ENTIRE stadium just ERUPTED into applause. It was absolutely amazing.

I don't think there's windows on the bottom of the pool. I think the pics may be stills from a Mobycam.

Never knew about Mobycam. Good info. I was beginning to think the Chinese figured something else out before us.

I'm so excited...this race is on at 7:58 PST / 10:58 EST.
Eeek....I really hoped Phelps gets Gold #8. :)

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

I love those guys!

As much as I dislike the Baltimore Ravens, it was pretty cool what they did.

Ravens Fans Watch Phelps Make History

Hundreds of fans stayed at M&T Bank Stadium after Saturday's preseason game between the Baltimore Ravens and Minnesota Vikings to watch Phelps compete. A unique agreement between the Ravens and NBC allowed the team to air Phelps’ final race on the stadium SmartVision boards
