My review - London Olympics 2012 - Swimming 2

In day 5 of London Olympics swimming, there was the 100m free style final race.  And Nathan Adrian from USA won it !!!  Highlights: Nathan Adrian Wins Gold In 100m Free  http://www.nbcolympics.com/video/swimming/highlights-nathan-adrian-wins-gold-in-100m-free.html   “ U.S. swimmer Nathan Adrian wins the men's 100m freestyle in dramatic fashion, out-touching James Magnusant by one one-hundredth of a second to earn gold. “  And Yannick Agnel was also in the race.  After seeing the race, I thought 1 to 6 can probably beat each other at any given time, because they all are almost like tie breaker in the end.  As we can see from the result below, swimmers 1 through 6 all came in at the exact same second !!!  The difference in times were by fractions of a second.  Seems that whoever has the best touch to the wall, wins !!!  Here is the result of the race 100m Freestyle , 1.
