Behemoth, it's not that I want the American's to do badly or anything, I'd rather see them win than 99.9% of the other countries. Canada and Germany being my home countries I cheer them on as much as I can, and with Canada sucking it up out there I have to throw my full support behind them, maybe they'll get at least one medal out of it 
. But I will cheer for the U.S if neither of my other countries are involved.

Phelps is an amazing swimmer and athlete. The guys body structure is perfect for swimming and his level of motivation is obviously top notch.
I recall watching Mark Spitz in '72 and Phelps performance is just as riveting.

Digital timing sensors tend not to lie, they don't have political biases, and they're not worried about who your favorite is. Nothing was stolen.

By the way...Cavic doesn't seem too upset about the silver....he doesn't look like he feels he was robbed. He must have way more faith in the timeclocks than other people do.
I will stand by my previous assertion...take it up with Omega timepieces.

Nobody's afraid of anything.....you can't argue with a clock that's synchronized with all 8 lanes...there's no conspiracy, no grassy knoll, no smoking gun, no backroom payoff....Phelps won.
I didn't even think he was going to win, myself...but the clock surprised me. I was glad to see it.
