On Saturday, Phelps earned a share of history by snaring his seventh gold medal at the Beijing Olympics, equaling the great Mark Spitz with one of the most dramatic finishes in sports history. He teased us with the prospect of losing and pulled out the finish by a hundredth of a second, edging Serbia's game Milorad Cavic 50.58 seconds to 50.59. Never mind figurative analogies; this was a literal fingertip. Clip your nails too sharp and you might settle for silver.
