I searched and couldn't find this posted, but I could have missed it.
Anyways, its pretty interesting because the official basically says Cavic touched first, but didn't "push" and slid, while Phelps pushed with force, etc etc. (He talks about this right at halfway through the video)

Personally I think you have to live with however the time system works as long as it is functional. If it was functional and Cavic didn't press hard enough, its tough luck.
The only alternative is to just present a "tie" when you are within the margin of error of the equipment.

I think we can all agree that Omega timekeeper said "...so it's for sure, the video also shows it, Cavic touched the pad before Phelps...".
Question is why Omega did not give us their video in 0.01 second frame by frame (like someone said before) but instead they again gave us some photos that shows nothing. What is the problem with simple truth uncovering?
