  • Don't forget the 1972 Larson/Mckee race - larson got the gold, but they were tied to the hundreths (and maybe even the thousandth), they went to a standard/degree of differentiation that is no longer applied - I'm told that at a certain point, minute variations in individual lane length (not all lanes of a pool are precisely identical in length when measured to the nth degree) become material enough to cause a minute time variation, so now they only distinguish finsih order to the 100th Now how many have won gold by 0.01 seconds? There were 2 in 2008.
