So in the last 100th of a second you were able to step through 10 frames!? What did you do this on?

They showed it on TV at least three times.

LOL! I know, I watched it on a large screen via HD projector. I didn't see 10 individual frames from the last 100th of a second. :thumbup:
My eyes can't pick that up.
You can see it on the overhead angle. I'm sure they'll show it another dozen times today, especially close to his race tonight.

Cool. I've seen the last second in slow motion but it is over in a few frames. I would love to look at the last 100th of a second broken down.
BTW, do both hands have to touch? I thought I read that as well.
Cheers,
Mike

David,
I saw the footage and everything else... when you break down to the frame you can see where Phelps won, but I had to have fun with the 'clear' comment.
I didn't realize until you wrote it that Phelps is the reason the US is leading in the total medal category.
I love these stupid games.

Bolt just blew everyone away! He even slowed down. Unbelievable.

Yeah, just watched it too! Amazing run, but talk about arrogance and disrespect to the other runners.
Now, you can't say that. It's disrespectful to the other 40+ medal winners.

Turned off the Yankee Game ? Do I need to call your wife and have her take you to the hospital ?
I'm not taking this one Dave.

Congrats to Phelps -- being witness to history is always very, very cool. :thumbsup:

All about the Caption
Yes, it was awesome to watch! Phelps' contribution in the relay made all the difference.
Also, Usain Bolt was unbelievably fast. I wonder what his time might have been if he didn't ease up towards the end. Amazing.

I know! He held up 3/4 of the way through the race and it still wasn't even close! Insane. I've never seen anything like it.
I'm guessing it doesn't suck to win gold on one day and then officially become #1 in the world rankings the next day. Congrats, Rafa. :beer:

That was one of the most incredible things I've ever seen... Breaks the world record and out of 100 meters only sprinted like 85 of them.
He has the potential to reach Carl Lewis type fame, which is incredible for a runner and much more preferable than Ben Johnson track marked and 'roid raging type fame. Prefontaine fame is nice because you get a couple of movies made for you but you need to be an a$$hole and die young. I think Bolt should just chase Lewis.

I agree. I would even say he sprinted for less, 75 to 80 meters at the most. He clearly destroyed the competition. It would be like if Phelp's starting celebrating long before he reached the finish. Turning on his back and floating towards the wall with a big smile on his face, hands in the air. :thumbup:
