Olympic Games

In the men's 100 meter freestyle final of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games, Alan Bernard, the French flying fish, won the gold medal in 47.21 seconds. In the men's 100 meter freestyle final on the morning of August 14, 2008, he beat Australian old opponent Sullivan with 47.21 seconds and won the "flying fish" battle. So much so that the Frenchman said "it's still hard to win the gold medal after two hours in a row.". "I still can't believe it. This victory is the best compliment for me to beat myself." Bernard said this because in the men's 4x100m freestyle relay race three days ago, he encountered perhaps the most tragic "Waterloo" in his career: in the lead of nearly a position, he was overtaken by American veteran leizac in the last 10 meters and lost the gold medal by 0.08 seconds.

Three record breaking

With the recent performance of breaking three world records, the French can be said to have full confidence in the Beijing Olympic Games. As soon as he arrived in Beijing, he said that he was in the peak state. Although there were many experts in the 100 meter race, he was undoubtedly the best candidate for the championship. He wanted to lead the French team to defeat the Americans. you can imagine how frustrated Bernard was after losing the relay race. He sank at the bottom of the pool for a long time and didn't want to come out. He dived into the toilet in the mixed zone without any interviews. "The relay really broke my heart and I blame myself for that," Bernard said afterwards. Fortunately, after the game, the coach helped Bernard release his heavy mental burden. He told Bernard that the relay was for four people and that he was not the only one to blame for the defeat. "Bernard is a champion athlete. He has to learn how to accept failure and how to make a comeback after failure. This is the quality that a real champion must have," said Claude, technical director of the French swimming team. Fortunately, Bernard learned this, and he learned it very quickly. in the semi-final of 100m freestyle on the morning of August 13, 2008, he snatched back the world record that sullivan had taken away from him, setting a new world record of 47.20 seconds. Although the latter broke the record again five minutes later, the Frenchman has clearly regained confidence in the game. "Today's world record is like dancing. Now I don't care about the record any more. I only care about who can reach the final and who can touch the wall first in the final.". in the final, even though he was always suppressed by Sullivan in the first 50 meters, Bernard still turned over in the second half of the game: he only saw his arms flying up and down, marching fast in the audience's loud cheers, overtaking Sullivan in the last 5 meters and winning the gold medal by 0.11 seconds. after winning, Bernard was overjoyed. He threw off his swimming cap and goggles, sat down on the water line and smashed the water with his fist. "My coach told me to be frank with myself and to take my destiny in my own hands," Bernard said excitedly. who would have thought that this 1.96-meter-tall swimmer, nicknamed by many reporters as the "Eiffel Tower" in the water, was considered "impossible to become a world-class" swimmer at the beginning of his swimming career because he was too thin. When Phelps won six gold medals in Athens in 2004, Bernard didn't even have the qualification to represent France in the Olympic Games. Bernard joined antibe club from Marseille club at the end of 2006, which became a turning point of his swimming career. The French boy from the small city of obane has made rapid progress under the systematic training of the antibe club, and has begun to stand out in various competitions. In 2007, he broke two French national records in the 100 meter freestyle. In Eindhoven European Swimming Championships, he was the first Frenchman to swim 48 seconds in the 100 meter freestyle with three world records in three days. After the game, French President Nicolas Sarkozy personally called to congratulate him, calling him "the pride of France". turning to the history of French swimming, 25-year-old Bernard has left his own record: he is the first Frenchman in the world record of 100 meter freestyle in more than 40 years. Now, a heavy Olympic gold medal has made him the first French male athlete to win this honor since the 1952 Helsinki Olympic Games. "It takes a lot of courage to get rid of the shadow of relay failure and win the race. Alan is a great player and he is undoubtedly today's hero," Sullivan offered his heartfelt congratulations to Bernard after the race. But he also said he was looking forward to another duel with Bernard in the upcoming 50m freestyle. For Bernard, the road of struggle has just begun.
