I cant see how france could ever lose to the USA. When u got three guys like leveaux, Bernard and Bosquet, all capable of medaling individually, you really should be winning a frickin 400 freelay.
@aaacacaas its called adrenaline. when the french were trash talkin the americans they got so pumped because they wanted to prove them wrong. and bernard lost it for the french when he turned and pushed off wrong and moved to the side of the lane. and lezak was smart and rode the wave that bernard was making into the turn and came back like a bullet
thats absolutely disgustingly good.... 100m free at the world level and he's up by 1/3 to half a body just off the start alone and he makes it bigger with each turn by staying in the streamline longer.
it is the new undulation that gives Amaury the edge over other swimmers. Notice after every turn , after undulation , he emerges further away from the rest of the pack
Too bad the French couldn't pull of that HUGE lead in the 400 free relay in the Olympics - Tant pis le Français ne pouvait pas enlever le 400 équipe de relais libre dans les Jeux Olympiques
Bernard was faster than Leczak in terms of power but made the mistake of swimming too close to him, so the latter benefited from Bernard's wave and snatched it at the touch. Bernard learned and it won't be done ever again.
Naa. Lezak was faster. Just admit - don´t waste ur time thinking "if" . But he (Lezak) wont swim as good as in that race no more in his life. The French will make their payback soon @ the worlds.
Lezak technically was swimming faster, yes. But only because he was riding Bernard's wake. It's like surfing, and because he didn't have to use as much energy due to this extra factor, he had more at the end and out-touched Bernard for the win. I agree, I think the French will take the 4x1 in Rome
tro ce qu oui :@

the French language just sounds so...femmy. French smack talk just got them beat in 2008. That was the best race I've ever seen, running or swimming.
