1. Phelps getting his 7th over Milorad Cavic by a hair. Tying Spitz's record.



Still not quite sure how he did that, either. I was so sure he lost.

I watch the close-in footage and whatever happened happened in the space of about .2 seconds and all of 6 inches. They were in two different kinds of strokes, and he just lunged forward out of his while Cavic was reaching for what should have been a natural victory. I think the Serbs protested that through formal channels but ultimately dropped it when the underwater/underbelly video just showed a miracle happening.

I was hype for that one.

That and the 4X100 FR were insane finishes to win Phelps gold medals. Truly unbelievable. The slow-mo in the 100 Fly with his half stroke finish is amazing.

My first thought was Michael Johnson in the 200 but the 4X100 Free Relay I've watched multiple times and get chills every time. So that would be best that I've seen.

I know who didn't watch the 100 fly in 88... watched Anthony Nesty do the same exact thing to Matt Biondi. Won his country's only gold medal ever.
