It could be <strong>Fanny Durack<\/strong> becoming the first female champion. It could be <strong>Johnny Weissmuller<\/strong> going back-to-back in the 100 freestyle. It could be <strong>Mark Spitz<\/strong> winning seven gold medals in 1972. It could be <strong>Katie Ledecky<\/strong> and her breakout showing in the 800 freestyle at the 2012 Games in London.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, we also easily recall the Great Eight, otherwise known as <strong>Michael Phelps<\/strong>&#8216; march to eight gold medals at the 2008 Olympics in Beijing. As part of that week in the Water Cube, Phelps mixed dominant performances with nail-biting finishes, none more prominent than the victory he claimed over Serbia&#8217;s <strong>Milorad Cavic<\/strong> in the 100-meter butterfly. In that event, which was Phelps&#8217; seventh of the competition, the American prevailed by .01, using a last-second half-stroke to edge Cavic.<\/p>\n<p>While a guest on the <strong>Inside with Brett Hawke Podcast<\/strong>, Phelps&#8217; coach, <strong>Bob Bowman<\/strong>, vividly discussed the race, including <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=CNEUXg3TCeE\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">what he said to his pupil<\/a> in the leadup to that final. Bowman noted that he rarely spoke to Phelps &#8211; or any of his athletes &#8211; before races,\u00a0 but instead used the months and days ahead of action to prepare him to achieve what was necessary.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;During Beijing, Michael and I had breakfast together every morning. It was just kind of the thing,&#8221; Bowman said. &#8220;We would do that, go to the venue and that would be it. So we&#8217;re sitting at breakfast before the 100 fly final and I didn&#8217;t want to do it, but I was like, you know what, this is going to be so close and I have to use everything I&#8217;ve got. I said, &#8216;You know what I read in the paper today?&#8217; And he was like, &#8216;What?&#8217; I was like, &#8216;Cavic said it would be good for swimming if you did not win eight golds and he was the guy to do it. That&#8217;s literally what he said.&#8217; And Michael physically got bigger and said, &#8216;He said what?&#8217; I&#8217;ll never forget that. It was like he grew two inches. I was like, &#8216;Well, that&#8217;s what he said.&#8217; And we didn&#8217;t even really talk about it. That&#8217;s all I needed to do. I was like, &#8216;OK, I&#8217;ve done all I can do now.&#8217; He was ready at that point.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>During the race, Cavic opened a significant lead over Phelps on the opening lap, and maintained a sizable advantage down the second lap. And while Phelps was closing over the closing 50 meters, there was considerable concern whether Phelps had the room to overtake his foe. Ultimately, he used every bit of the 100 meters to get the job done, and to keep intact his chase for history.<\/p>\n<p>Here is the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=wmIUibhpyPc\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">full interview<\/a> between Hawke and Bowman, which took place in October. <a
