How exactly did Michael Phelps manage to win that race this morning?

What is the plunge for distance competition?

And how could we make archery a bit more exciting?

I’m joined by Julian Linden and Ossian Shine on our latest podcast from Beijing. Seven minutes is all it takes. Go on … you know you want to.

Julian, thanks for your explanation, I got you this time! Hope you take part in the podcast even if they donĀ“t talk about swimming in the next days…

Yes, it was great to find out how Phelps managed to win today.

Having looked at the frame-by-frame analysis of the 100 m butterfly, I’m convinced that either Cavic won or it was a tie, but not a Phelps victory. It was a so-called “light touch” by Cavic ahead of Phelps. Cavic even lifted his head out of the water before Phelps touched; another sign that Cavic had touched ahead of Phelps.
