    Post Hitting the wall - did Milorad Cavic defeat Michael Phelps in Beijing in 2008?

    In the "I didn't know this was an issue" category:

    Hitting the Wall - At the 2008 Olympics in Beijing, Milorad Cavic lost the 100-meter butterfly to Michael Phelps by one one-hundredth of a second. Or maybe he won and there was a timing error. It depends on who you ask, what parts of the internet you read, and how deep down the rabbit hole you go—a place Cavic still finds himself 12 years after one of the closest and most controversial races in history.

    Honestly? With the amount of ganja Phelps was/is smoking? I think he deserves a 2 second advantage right off the block

    I have to give it to the person in the far lane without knowing who that is but this one really is impossible to say looking through an underwater camera.

    They should have had a swim off. Do it like the girl who put a glass of milk on her head and didn't spill any if it.
