Sometimes is swimming you can have a soft touch on the wall (usually when you glide in as apposed to hitting it hard).
You can tell on the reply that the Serb was mm's away from touching the way while Phelps' last stroke was timed perfect.
Even with saying that it is not like someone pushes a button on a stop watch or clock (like at some smaller meets), it is all based on the wall's touch pad.
