A place to hide, search forever, photo finish line...

Phelps 7th gold medal, the photo finish one last night...how in God's name did he DO that???? I mean it looked like the other guys was already touching when Phelps' arms were still outstretched! I can NOT believe how great, and lucky, this guy is.

It was nice to finally see some celebration from him thought. Other than the big relay that Lezak finished a few days ago, I don't recall seeing Phelps doing celebrating like this time. He yelled, he slapped the water, the pumped his fists, and I was glad to see the emotion.

Can't wait to see Phelps' swim tonight, for the record!
