0.01 seconds

0.08 seconds was close enough.
0.01, well, Phelps is just amazing,
winning the 100m butterfly in such fashion.
That runner up guy now has something that
will haunt him for the rest of his life.
Well, but sports always needs drama.

Somehow, i still think his win in the 4x100 freestyle
was more dramatic.
Team effort you see.

He now only needs 1 more medal to set a new record
of 8 career Olympic gold medals.

All seven of his previous Golds came with records.
6 WR, 1 OR.

Tmr is his final race.
So everyone prepare.

Anyway, its become a pretty well knowned fact
that swimmers are swimming much faster now
due to the new types of swimsuits they wear.
Seeing, how sports apparel has developed,
technology has come to play a significant part in sports.
I mean, just look at football boots nowadays.

Total 90 T-Laser,
Mercurial Vapor IV

theres always no telling wads coming up next.

But theres one more thing that's making swimmers
clock faster timings.
They are now allowed to use the butterfly kick underwater,
after they have touched the wall,
regardless of the event.
Apparently, it helps alot.

And did anybody watch the 100m sprint finals?
Usain Bolt, new WR of 9.68.
And guess wad.
I think the last 10 metres he was alr looking at the crowd
and celebrating.
While all the others behind him were still struggling.
VERY entertaining.

I'll look for it on youtube.


edit: I was thinking how they were gonna broadcast PM LEE's
National Day Rally at 8pm,
when the Singapore vs China table tennis match is at 7.30pm.

Looks like the National Day Rally will be postponed to Monday.

Talk about sports stealing the limelight...
