The last individual event.

If there is one event everyday, Michael Phelps would win 365 golds in a year.



The 100m Individual Butterfly was held this morning. Michael Phelps clocked in at 51.25 secs, once again plucking off the gold medal with relative ease, although fellow American, Ian Crocker:

a.k.a the world record holder for this event
a.k.a the flu and sore throat guy
a.k.a the one who pulled the US down to a bronze in the 4×100m Freestyle relay
a.k.a destroyer of Michael Phelps' 7 gold possibility
(just kidding)

clocked in at just .04 secs after him.

According to the newly elected president of MPC, Mel, the distance between Crocker and Phelps was just "one centimetre".

But results are results after all. Michael Phelps broke Crocker's olympic timing.

The finals for the 4×100m Medley relay is on later. It is quite certain that the US team will once again dominate in this event which they had never lost before. We wish them luck all the same.
