NO DOUBT !!!!! (tu)(tu)(tu)

good man Titch.. But honestly what Cameron n Chad have achieved is truly amazing, shows what we as a nation can do..if we stand together

Unbelievable finish,pure guts and determination to pip Phelps where it counted most on the line,bravo bravo bravo,Chad what a historic moment for all of S A,and yourself.

What a truly amazing finish,it was as if Chad could hear my wife,my 3yo son and me urging him onto the finish line.To beat phelps who has won 14 gold medals is a momentus occasion,and the best of him is still to come as he is only about 20 y'o.

What a champ!!!
