@@toddmerrill3757 Lezak gets the credit and was a great 100m swimmer, but Bernard was the gold medal 100m winner and future WR holder. He had no reason to have faded that bad against someone .5 a second slower in the 100m.
@@toddmerrill3757 Lezak STILL has the fastest 100M relay split in history. He lifted his head slightly but his performance and finish was otherworldly.
Hes not diminishing Lezak here - he's saying that absolutely everything had to go the US's way to win. They needed to have a miracle swim AND get a little bit lucky to pull it off. Nothing he said was false at all.
Yeah he never put down lezak he was explaining how they messed up and it needed to happen for them to win. Otherwise Phelps would have been 7 gold 1 silver
he is diminishing it a bit when you consider what he said about Bernard, who swam the 3rd fastest split of the event. He makes it sound like Bernard completely shat the bed when in reality, he was flying. Lezak was just on another level.
That's not true, Phelps was just throwing shade at Bernard because all of the s*** talking Bernard did. Lesak had it won before the touch. I had tons of D1 offers in swimming - i was a freestyle sprinter, and .08 isn't really that close in freestyle and you could see Lesak was going to win. Now if he said Bernard went out too hard and faded, that would be true, but i think it still would be silly to focus on anything other than the greatest relay swim of all time, which was the fastest split ever for 16 years.
Lezak had the fastest split ever that was a huge factor -although if Michael says the French made critical errors well that to was also very significant
Yeah but Bernard still swam a bad lap, for the WR holder in the 100m free at the time to not even have the fastest split on his team is saying something
@@MrCdog54he had the third fastest relay split in the whole race. The other guy from his country who swam faster got bronze at worlds the next year. Lezak being insanely fast was the main reason
@@MrCdog54 Adjusting his relay split for an individual event, Lesak would have shattered the world record and it wouldn't have been beaten for 16 years. His relay split was the fastest ever by 0.6 seconds and still is the fastest relay split ever.
@aeterna581 You have to adjust relay starts because of the timing and momentum. Yes, his adrenaline must have been crazy, but that was part of the race, and I wouldn't adjust for that.
Bernard's enormous size and speed produced a considerable wake which, to some degree, assisted Lezak for much of the race. Explains why Bernard had no gas in the tank left whilst Lezak enjoyed an incredible boost of speed during the final 50m. Most amazing swim I've ever seen and Lezak's record proves it.
Bernard looked gassed even when he started his last 50 but he looked dead by the end. Lezak just absolutely motored through that 100. To be perfectly honest it’s a WR 100 swim that still stands today
yeah but Bernard still swam the 3rd fastest split of the event (46.63). Phelps claiming he didn't move is over the top. Lezak was just swimming at an insane pace.
@@tyleru96France was 0.82 seconds ahead after 350 meters. Bernard giving up almost a second in the last 50 meters points to Phelps not being far off. Lezak still had to have the swim of his life to take advantage and he did just that.
Phelps is an amazing athlete...but most importantly, a genuine gentleman. His humility, ability and attitude will serve him well moving forward in life.
Bernard swam a 46.73 split which was the third fastest in history at that point. Only his teammate Bousquet swimming the third leg at 46.63 was faster. The problem for them was Lezak swam a 46.06 which absolutely smashed the previous record. In the 100m you don't break records by 6/10ths of a second that just isn't a thing. Sure if Bernard swam 46.6 instead of 46.7 they win but it's pretty hard to fault a guy who swam the third fastest of all time just because at the same time someone else had a superhuman performance.
I don’t see where he could’ve raised his head, as he was breathing on his right side, while Lezak on his left. He was only feeling his opponent’s presence on his left.
If Michael says mistakes were made, I'm sure mistakes were made, but it kind of diminishes what Lezak did. His record still stands almost 20 years later. And the crazy thing is Bernard actually had a really good time. Bernard's time was almost (but not quite) a full second better than Michael's time from the first leg. I think credit needs to be given to Lezak's skill, not Bernard's mistakes
Both can be true. Lezak had the best swim of his life. The best relay swim of anyone’s life. But he only was able to turn that into a win due to French failures.
Bernard was the WR holder rights before that race started and also had a running start, Phelps set an American record in his lead leg and wasn’t even a sprinter. To even suggest Bernard’s leg was better in any way is blasphemy.
That first leg Phelps swam, he was coming off a race from 20 mins before, so Phelps being one second behind is either a testament to his conditioning and talent or Bernard made mistakes that cost him
You can’t compare the lead swimmers time with the 3 that come after. Only the lead swimmers time is eligible for world record status because the following swimmers are almost always at least half a second faster due to anticipation of their jump
That s not a WR.Only first relay counts.If it was like that, that 46.07 would ve been dmashed by now several times.Why do u think that the "normal" WR stands now at 46.80 when people like Popovici or Pan Zhanle are clearly miles away at 100 freestyle than Lezak could ve ever been?
@@PP-3b2ox while this is true, there is still a fair reason to be skeptical given the history as well as the fact that WADA still has doping test facilities IN CHINA which I would argue is a huge red flag
Not buying the draft theory. Lezak just outswam Bernard. And that was not tactically swam well from Bernard as the anchor. Lezak just wanted it more- plain and simple
This isn’t quite fair. Bernard had the second fastest split of all swimmers - only Lezak was faster and he broke the record for fastest split. Lezak and Bernard were the only two to break 47 seconds.
Phelps set an American record in the lead leg and he never even swam the 100 free at trials. He played just as big of a role as lezak no matter how you wanna look at it.
Idk, I'm sure the French made mistakes, but Bernard swam the 3rd-fastest split of the entire event at 46.73 - he was absolutely flying. Lezak just swam .67 secs faster than him.
Bernard’s finish was bad, but Lezak had made up the difference and was already going by him by then. The critical error Bernard made was about 40 meters earlier by swimming near the lane line and allowing Lezak to draft off of him.
I saw something interesting that the French swim order was practiced for good reasons and changed at the last minute for anticipated photograph at the end
This is one like 20 second clip. He could've been saying how amazing Lezak was before and after this clip. Don't act like this is all that Phelps said about it
Also the french coaching staff really messed up. They had a set order with Bernard, their best sprinter, going first. They did this at euros and they always prepared for this. But the coaches changed it just before the race. the swimmers were against it but it was too late to change it back. Apparently it really messed with the psychology of the French.
Phelps is so arrogant and self centered. When they tried to use him as a presenter he'd just be like 'this reminds me of when I...' no matter what was going on.
This year 2024 also the French gave it away. Why put Florent Manadou on the last leg. 33 years old. However the Chinese at the end??? Well we'll just leave that alone. Some questions remain.
Yeah sure, they "intentionally gave it away" ! More seriously speaking, France simply didn't have any other Front Crawl specialists for the final freestyle leg. The only other one they had was Maxime Grousset, already required for the butterfly leg. So France simply had to adapt with those they had on hand, and get an advantage before the final leg. Florent Manaudou still did a great job holding on to Pan and Armstrong until the final 20m. Regardless, in France, the fans are proud of their swimmers' Bronze medal, unlike the USA who almost only care about Gold.
It's ridiculous to say the French gave it away. No more than 1 member of the French team gave it away. Therefore if he gave it away, don't tar them all with the same brush.
He meant the time Alain Bernard set on his leg. In French, we colloquially say "chrono" (short for Chronomètre meaning timer) to refer to the time set by someone, most of the time used in sports.
Frederick Bousquet will never lose his anger at the coaches who changed the relay order without discussing with the team. Phelps describes exactly why you don’t change anchors on the day of the race.
Any idea who USADA and WADA is protecting? That elite athlete from the US who was caught doping in competition allowed to compete and win until retirement? What about Purple Faces? Any idea why US swimmers turned purple after their swims?
Its very common phrase among swimmers that when you completely bonk it's called having a piano dropped on you! Never seen someone with 10 pianos dropped on them!
No, it was just a French PRESS, MEDIA and FANS who said “We will destroy the Americans”, only putting more pressure on the swimmers. The swimmers themselves didn’t see themselves as favourites.
Actually crucial was the distance between them - the Frenchie was too close to the divider and the Yankee smartly got close to it to get the draft. But what most people do not know is that when you are being helped drafting off somebody - it slows down the person upfront! Physics!
Bernard swam 46.73, it was the fastest time he was able to swim (his PB on 100m freestyle is 46.94 from 2009 which was world record back then, even if you consider the start advantage in relays, he basically swam his PB). The main factor that made USA win was Lezak's 46.06 split, back then he broke 100m world record by almost a second, and his first 50m wasnt even that fast, Bernard had 0.5s advantage at the start and 0.8s after the flip, but Lezak was able to find a higher gear in the last 20m. I am not a swimmer so I dont know if "riding the wave" makes this much difference, but Lezak's last leg and especially last 20 meters were so ridiculous nobody has come even close to his time. Bernard couldnt do anything, he swam what he was capable.
Si c'est un manque d'expérience, ce serait seulement pour Alain Bernard. Je te propose de revoir la course, racontée par Bousquet et Bernard. Le changement d'ordre du relais 1h30 avant le départ a aussi eu son effet. th-cam.com/video/kQNY5htc9_k/w-d-xo.html

That was what the French PRESS and MEDIA said, which was then related by the fans. The swimmers themselves didn’t consider themselves to be favourites, and that press release only put more pressure on them than they really needed.
That’s what he is saying. They all know each others capability style etc. as if he is saying the last French swimmer was normally much much better than he performed.
Does that mean the same as making a crucial mistake ? His mistake was swimming on the edge of his lane, allowing the opponent to take his wave and speed up, while he was slowed down.
This is not new, we see it all the time. One false move and you lose, especially at the highest level. They weren’t lucky, they were better that day. That’s it.

Michael Phelps the dope king.
Thank you for making the historical connection between jazz and classical. So many Jazz heads think chord extensions and 2-5-1s were there own innovations and not used before the 30's-40's
Phelps has gotten so much more attractive as he’s aged. 😅 wow
i literally got hard when i saw the thumbnail he is 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Miguel Phelps 😂
Doping man
That was an awesome race, one-one hundredth of a second; the French said, "The American's; we're going to smash them; that's what we came here for", I'm so glad the Americans won🇨🇦🇺🇲
That was what the French PRESS and MEDIA said, which was then related by the fans. The swimmers themselves didn’t consider themselves to be favourites, and that press release only put more pressure on them than they really needed.
It’s almost like he’s disappointed in the win because his competitor should have done better and won
That’s what he is saying. They all know each others capability style etc. as if he is saying the last French swimmer was normally much much better than he performed.
Hey, Phelps! Did you teach the French team to take asthma puff?
That would be called choking from the French guy
Does that mean the same as making a crucial mistake ? His mistake was swimming on the edge of his lane, allowing the opponent to take his wave and speed up, while he was slowed down.
His eyes 👀…. It scared
Yep, 10 pianos, just like Lochte in 2012 😜
This is not new, we see it all the time. One false move and you lose, especially at the highest level. They weren’t lucky, they were better that day. That’s it.
This is truly the year of the “minor”
Phelps is no longer the GOAT.
Good thing Micheal had his mouth shut by France and Yannick Angel in London.
This man Joe Buck is hated by many loved by few😂
Drug cheat talking
The French had their revenge 4 years later in London
Exactly, making the story go full circle.
The Falcons lost the Super Bowl, too. Gotta finish it to win it.
French team made it up four years after, no biggie.
Exactly ! The story went full circle.
Sure. Whatever you said, asthma drugs.
I agree to Michael Bernard was there to win but French making many mistakes and lezak try get over USA .. one or two mistakes it’s possible to lose the game
I didn’t realise that Micheal Phelps was such a ignorant dare I say it human being
Phelps owe lezak big time :D
