Phenomenal Phelps wins 7th gold by 0.01 seconds to tie Spitz
ESPN.com
Michael Phelps beat Milorad Cavic of Serbia to the wall to win the 100-meter butterfly Friday, tying Mark Spitz’s record of seven gold medals at a single Olympics.
With his arms fully outstretched, the American touched in 50.58 seconds, breaking Cavic’s Olympic record of 50.76 set in the semifinals.
Cavic, who was still in mid-stroke at the wall, took the silver in 50.59, a mere 0.01 seconds behind Phelps. Andrew Lauterstein of Australia earned the bronze in 51.12.
It was the first race of these games in which Phelps didn’t set a world record.
Crocker, the world record-holder, was fourth in 51.13.
Phelps won the event four years ago in Athens, and Crocker finished second.
God Bless America!!!

August 15th, 2008 at 6:46 pmI wonder why he does not hold his hand over his heart or ever mouth the words to the national anthem.
He was offered an American flag to carry after tonights medal ceremony and refused.
I wonder if he has been in Ann Arbor too long….?
August 15th, 2008 at 7:04 pmHe’s a phenomenon but I have to say I hate his taste in music. He listens almost exclusively to rap on his Ipod, Emimen and other equally ignorant and vulgar types. Oh well, I guess not everyone is perfect.
