Unbelievable!!!!

Just saw how Michael Phelps got his 7th gold...one word: UNBELIEVABLE!!!

Phelps was like one body length behind the leader during the 50m turn (it's 100m butterfly race btw)...but he never gave up and kept giving his best!! Towards the very end the guy next to him (earlier leader who still led) was already stretching his hands for the wall, and although Phelps himself was also close enough to reach for the wall, he did an additional butterfly stroke....and VOILA!! Phelps did it and won the race by a MERE 0.01 SECOND!!!!

Gosh...what a great race....although it's not a world record, it's an Olympic record still. And great great moment in the history of swimming!!

(and really, every one should see how Phelps mother reacted...she was stunned for a few good seconds, then collapsed with relieve..)
