Michael Phelps
Michael Phelps is the greatest Olympian of all time, at least with respect to the number of medals he has won.
On the way to winning all of his 22 medals, he broke many records, especially in the 2008 Olympics. It was during his quest to win his 7th medal at the Games when this iconic image was taken.
As you can see in the picture, Phelps finished just 0.1 seconds ahead of his fellow competitor, Serbian Milorad Cavic. There was a bit of controversy as the Serbians appealed against the results, but further analysis by FINA confirmed that Phelps made it first.
Trending
The difference between the two was so close that the panel had to look at images as much 1/10,000th of a second apart.
