Check out these high speed photos of the final meter in the 100 meter butterfly in Beijing. Michael Phelps is on the left, and Milorad Cavic of Serbia is on the right. Look at Phelps hands in the top photo. Amazingly, as Cavic glides, Phelps takes a lighning fast half-stroke to out-touch Cavic by 0.01 of a second to win the gold medal. It was Phelps’s seventh gold medal win, equaling Mark Spitz’s 1972 Munich games record.

Damn that was exciting!
