Segun el sistema de precicion de Omega Gano Phelps, segun las fotos Cavic, a quien se le debe entregar la medalla?
Esta polemica se genero en la competencia de 100 metros en natacion estilo Mariposa, segun el sistema de omega Phelps llego primero con 0,01 segundos de diferencia pero segun los videos y fotografia fue Cavic.
Segun comunicado del comite olimpico, los sensores de Omega tambien son jurados por lo que la medalla se la lleva Phelps.
Los touchpads y starting pads OMEGA son parte de un sistema integrado de control de tiempo, capaz de registrar tiempos con una precisión de una milésima de segundo. Sin embargo, por la imposibilidad de construir piscinas donde se garantice que cada carril tenga exactamente la misma longitud, los récords olímpicos y mundiales aún son estimados a una precisión de la centésima de segundo más próxima al tiempo final.

Segun el blog de Cavic:
1. The Media’s Manipulation and Misinterpretations: It never ceases to amaze me that garbage that reporters will come up with in order to make a story. Seriously. Anyone who knows me personally knows that I’m very respectful of others. I’ll admit that I’ve got bad blood with one person in the world, but that’s really it. I would never do anything to trash my competitors with seriousness, or to belittle them. If you were there to hear my media interviews, you’d know how much respect I’ve got for Michael Phelps. For a lot of reasons though, its easy to see why many reporters would pick up on anything negative and use it to support their imaginations. Am I a bad guy? No, not even close. I’ve got no criminal record, never got in trouble in school for anything (ever), and never got into a fight. Hate me for having some disagreements about some foreign policies, or for posting up some fast times, but I’m anything but a punk. I’m cool with all of my competitors that have even met me for a second. I like to think I’m easy going and easy to talk to… don’t imagine reasons to hate on me.
2. On winning a SILVER medal: I am completely happy, and still in complete disbelief that I was able to achieve this feat! I’m not joking… It’s a tough loss, but I’m on cloud nine. I congratulated Phelps and his coach Bob Bowman. I’m just glad the race was fun to watch for everyone. It was a pleasure for me, really.
3. Filing a Protest: Yes, as you all saw, I almost won the Gold, and if you ask me, the clock does not lie. I had nothing to do with this filing, and neither did my coach Mike Bottom. This is just another attack on my coach who has done never wronged anyone in swimming, except coach foreign athletes (non-Americans) to Olympic medals. You all have to understand that any coach would have done this for their swimmer if there were any possibility of error, but I’m sorry to disappoint, it was my Olympic committee and swimming staff who did the filing. We’re not “sour grapes” and we’re not “pissed”… If you ask me, it should be accepted and we should move on. I’ve accepted defeat, and there’s nothing wrong with losing to the greatest swimmer there has ever been.
En resumen, despues de ver el foto-finish oficial se dio cuenta de que Phelps era el ganador, ademas con lo preciso q son esos relojes Omega …
