Oh yes, I remember the 2004 Men's 100 Fly. Crocker was taking it out and leading all the way power his strokes until about the last 10m when he started to die up. Phelps and Serdinov started to move forward and they were all together, Crocker in 3, Phelps in 4, Serdinov in 5, when they were in their last 2 or 3 meters. You could hear the commentator screaming it's gonna all depend on who's "on stroke" and Phelps was on stroke during the touch, when his arms extended he touched the wall. Crocker and Serdinov both had bad touches and got silver and bronze.
