The message you were about to post is too short and probably not of any higher value to the topic at hand. You should think long and hard before posting a message in this forum and make it detailed and a valuable addition to the topic discussed.

"Time to file a petition!!"
He did.
IIRC, that petition was reviewed and ultimately over-ruled.

Was this aimed at me about my ".01 seconds of epic failure?"
If it was then read the rest of my post before jumping to conclusions.
I thought of another one.

why in the world would you think that? he didn't quote you and there are 3 posts between yours and his...
he included that only to express the fact that his post was too short and he had to add more text to the post for it to be acceptable.

The normal cameras only have 24 frames per second, and since Michael Phelps won by 0.01 second, it is possible that you could not see it on a normal television screen because the normal cameras could not capture it. From my understanding, the staff members have a camera that is capable of having enough frames per second to 1 frame per 0.01 second, and I believe they have reviewed the tape.

Quoting JoKeR (Reply 21): more and more material coming through that Cavic is in fact the winner...
I think Cavic may have touched the wall first, but clearly Phelps triggered the pad sooner, or the result wouldn't have been official, since it's a COMPUTER that runs the sensors. I think that Phelps triggered it sooner because Cavic was gliding, and Phelps slammed the touchpad at full-strength as he arrived.
