By the hair of his chinny chin chin . . .

If anyone is following the Olympics and saw some swimming, chances are they were watching Michael Phelps and his quest for 8. One of the races was between him and Milorad Cavic where the final result was stated as being a difference of 1/100 of a second. This is technically the smallest amount of time used in the Olympics.

Below is a picture released by Omega(the company in charge of the time keeping) showing a top down view of the finish. It is actually a picture just after Phelps (in the right lane of the left column) arrived and right as Cavic (in the left lane of the right column) hits the wall. Just as a side note, in case anyone wanted to know this was in the 100 meter butterfly final.
