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.
