Saturday's Stumbles #16 - Marathon at the Olympics and Phelps

I tend to watch too much sports whenever I get the chance. That means I kind of balance my movies with some sports regularly. With the Euro 2008 having finished a long time ago, I turned to the Olympics.

And I watched everything they had in Beijing. Well everything if I was near a television. I did miss the fake fireworks and the whole opening ceremony! Call it a hunch...

I'd have to stumble the women's Marathon today. A woman from Romania managed to lead the whole crowd for 20 kilometers with her advance increasing kilometer after kilometer. That's something worth stumbling, but since I can't, I'll just mention it to you.

And I think this was my first Marathon I watched ever. It certainly was interesting.

Since we're stumbling and usually I get more than one item, I'd have to stumble Michael Phelps' last performance. Negatively that is! Well not necessarily him but the judges! It appears that he was helped by the judges to keep the golden medal for himself instead of sharing it with the other fellow Milorad Cavic. While writing these lines I found a video on YouTube in slow motion. Maybe he was first after all. It's just too difficult to say. A whole 0.01s is the difficult part...
