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

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.

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
