A short film with Michael Phelps and Milorad Cavic looking back on the 2008 Olympic 100m butterfly final was published by Omega, the Olympic timekeeper, this week.
Phelps memorably beat Cavic by .01 of a second, keeping his hopes alive of winning a record eight gold medals at a single Olympics.
“My gut instinct is that I won,” Cavic said in the film. “It was the best and the worst thing that ever happened to me, losing that Olympic gold.”
The result was controversial and was even protested by the Serbian federation.
“The results don’t lie, that’s all I’ve got to say,” Phelps said. “I’m happy the results don’t lie.”
