There's not a whole lot to add.
Michael Phelps'
seventh gold medal of the Beijing Games was an epic comeback and one of the most thrilling finishes in sports history. As they say, the great ones always find a way to get it done.
Besides, rolling through a loaded Olympic swimming field perfect and winning a record number of gold medals can't come without a fingertip of luck. There's no shame in that.
The question is, which race is more likely to burn in your memory forever: The 4x100 freestyle relay, Phelps' second gold highlighted by Lezak's amazing comeback against the French; or the 100 butterfly with the finish so close the naked eye couldn't determine a winner?
I can't decide, but I'm leaning toward the 100 fly because we're so close to the end of Phelps' legendary program, and the finish was one of the most amazing things I've witnessed. If Phelps was .02 seconds slowerthink about thatthe whole nation would've woken up grumpy this morning.
That said, the relay still remains a classic race. So I can't call it.
How about you?
