^^Yeah, Touch Pad Doesn't Lie.

It was extremely close but Cavic took too long to hit the wall.

A protest is being filed. I don't get why the medals are being issued right now..shouldn't they have waited?

Oh well wouldn't be the Olympics without this type of drama. LOL

Cavic doesn't seem upset during the award.

They did the award ceremony because it sounds like they had denied the request.

I like how Michael Phelps mom has fans asking for her picture.

Cavic's coach just filed a protest. I don't see how the touch pad can by wrong though.

DITTO to that.

I do remember in the early 90's an Aussie swimmer became the 2nd person to swim under the 1500 metre's and break the world record, he touched the pad but it never registared. They did protest but the simple fact was that he didn't hit the touch pad hard enough. In those days you really had to hit it and had to do it on the black part.

The touch pad's are so sensitive these day's that it doesn't take much to stop them at all. So now there can be no dispute. And you can hit it anywhere in that area.
