Phelps showed how he won the controversial gold against Cavic

After winning his sixth gold medal in Beijing, Michael Phelps seriously feared the possibility of not being able to achieve the seventh medal to equal the legendary record of Mark Spitz. But a mistake by his rival in the final of the 100 butterfly, Milorad Cavic, enabled him to achieve a victory that, under normal circumstances, he would have escaped, as he himself has acknowledged.

Phelps explained how they saw the outcome of the historic final in an interview with the program‘60 minutes’ of CBS, which will be issued this coming Sunday. After the final 200 styles, the swimmers expressed their fears about his coach, Bob Bowman. “There is nothing inside me,” said a Phelps that was beginning to acknowledge the tremendous wear and tear suffered at the Games in Beijing. And Bowman saw him so tired that could not but agree. “When reviewing the images after the sixth end, and even though I’m outside, standing, and he in the water, I remember thinking, ‘Wow, now you’re really tired.”

On the one hundredth of a second
As for the outcome of the controversial final of the 100 butterfly, Cavic had a clear advantage over Phelps before last long. The Serbian slipped into the wall with his arms extended, while Phelps forces had yet to give an extra half span that gave him victory by one hundredth of a second, the smallest gap possible.

According to Phelps, Cavic made a mistake which could go unnoticed for most, but it was crucial to the outcome of the final. “Pulled his head up, and that acted as a kind of Baden,” Phelps says pointing to one of the images of the now legendary photo-finish. “So he tries to raise his head before touching the wall, and takes a little aerodynamics. That’s what makes the difference in the career. Had it kept the head down, I would have won.”

United States of America had no luck in the 4×100 relay at Olympic games

BEIJING – Since the relay late in the Bird Nest, unthinkable until a defeat in softball, but left him little to the United States on Thursday in Beijing. At least his female football team and its riders in the 400 meters drew the face by a delegation that made several trastadas three days of the closing of the Olympic Games.

The victory of the Americans 1-0 in overtime on Brazil for the gold medal in women’s soccer, and 1-2-3 in the 400, were of little news to celebrate among Americans.

In fact, the U.S. won three gold medals and cut into something the advantage of China on the top of the overall picture, although the distance that brought the hosts after 13 days of powers is almost insurmountable.

The Chinese only bagging a metal gold on Thursday, with the victory of Chen Ruolin in the 10 meter platform. The local won the first seven end of this discipline, where they awaited a final test.

China tops the column of honour with 46 gold, 17 more than the United States. Great Britain (17) and Russia (16) walk behind in third and fourth place respectively.

If this is total, the Americans suman 95 (29 gold, 34 silver, 32 bronze) and Asians 83 (46-15-22).

Cuba, with the gold Dayron Robles in the 110 meter hurdles, appears as the first Latin American country on the list in 22nd place with a pair of gold, six silver and six bronze. That total could increase because the island has eight competitors stuffed into the semifinals of the boxing tournament, and his team dispute with the United States on Friday, the ticket to the final of baseball.

The Americans were gold football, Lashawn Merritt in the 400 _with Jeremy Wariner and David Neville of escoltas_ and Kerri Walsh and Misty May-Treanor in beach volleyball.

But beyond these triumphs, United States received cachetadas in several skills that usually dominate.

His two 4×100 relay teams, male and female, were eliminated in the preliminary pifias in delivery of the baton. One important fact, if one takes into account that United States usually dominates both races and counted among its possibilities to the top of the podium.

In addition, the U.S. softball team, hitherto invincible, suffered its first setback since the 2000 Sydney games. And nothing less than in the final for the gold against Japan. A 3-1 eternity until it hurts because this is the last Olympic softball tournament, unless it is readmitted to the Olympiad 2016.

In taekwondo, where the three brothers Lopez arrived as favourites for gold in their respective categories, but the two who went into action had to settle for silver and bronze in the first case Mark at 68 kilos of men, and the second Diana in the 57 kilos of women.

Brazil break Cameroon in the supplemental and classified for the semifinals

Brazil did not play well but managed to break Cameroon in the supplemental and classified for the semifinals SHENYANG – A goal from Rafael Sobis and one from Marcelo, made both in the first part of the extension, defeated Cameroon with a ten, brought to Brazil from where it was found and sealed the passport of a vulgar Canarinha semifinals.

Despite playing before a team inferiority in almost the entire second half, Brazil, tremendously gray Saturday afternoon, he took blood and sweat break about “lions” who returned to demonstrate what the source described as “indomitable”.

Brazil finally succeeded in scaring and the ghost of Sydney 2000, where a nine Cameroon and also in the quarterfinals to verdeamaelha eliminated in the supplemental, whose memories and the fear of a repetition planned by the Olympic Stadium Shenyang.

Dunga already opted for their classic 4-5-1 scheme that around 4-3-2-1 through the embodiments of Ronaldinho and Diego. However, introduced two amendments on the eleventh day no one expected: Breno by Thiago Silva in the centre of defence and, above all, Rafael Sobis, who finished giving the reason for Alexandre Pato pointed.

Brazil found from the outset that Cameroon would be a hard bone roer. Africans, with a 4-4-2 with Song as conductor either from the middle centre interrupted again and again, sometimes without any contemplation, the possessions of the Canarinha, seriously hampers its construction of the game.

In addition to muscle, Africans were also shown a good deal of speed and showed that they were able to exit quickly and planted in two steps in the vicinity of the area Renan barely recovered the ball, a factor that increased caution among Brazilians and that prevented that verdeamarella optase, fearful of being caught on the counter attack, to seek happiness with the arch Tignyemb, whose defense allowed just spaces.

Cameroon had knotted the game so much that the Brazilian could only be reached by any individual action, or failure of Africans to play ball stopped.

Do not pass any of the three scenarios and the two teams cascaded the locker room tunnel after signing a dull first part, in which the domain corresponded to Brazil, who was unable, however, sometimes produce scoring noteworthy, except for a free-kick from Ronaldinho in 3 minutes that cleared Tignyemb.

Cameroon tried to stretch something on the break, but was hampered its attempts to expel Baning in minute 51, who already had to leave the party in the first part (Diego also was able to do in the opening stages of the second half), although to which no provision wrinkles and, at times, felt that Africans were the playing eleven before a nervous Brazil and without ideas.

The duel again and stick to the script followed in the first, with a “canarinha” unable to convert their opportunities in higher rioridad and numerical control of the ball, even with the entry of Thiago Neves, the better to China, and a Cameroon agazapado confident able to impose his physical strength with the passage of minutes and strike the mazazo those of Dunga.

The meeting seemed doomed to the extension since she arrived because none of the Brazilian stars did act appearance as the party required. Cameroon had a duel where it always wanted to have from the beginning.

And then, in one minute ten in the first part of the extension, when who else but who was beginning to think about the penalties and wondered why Dunga did not seek formulas that will revolutionize the clash, such as replacing an unpublished Rafael Sobis by Alexandre Duck, emerged from Betis striker to open the lock and lift African Brazil’s tremendous predicament in which they lived.

The Erechim took advantage of a pass in depth Diego after a stolen ball in the area and Brazilian beat Tingnyemb in its output, a goal which also launched in Brazil, which held that lock and defend the 1-0 had been playing with fire.

Thus, “canarinha” continued trying and Marcelo, right after a pretty accurate and Thiago Neves wall with four minutes later, Brazil finally allowed to breathe and close the match.
