...and the agony of d'French.
(Arrogant French swimmer Alain) Bernard was the world record holder in the 100, but he surrendered that mark as well. Australia's Eamon Sullivan broke the individual record by swimming the leadoff leg in 47.24 - ahead of Bernard's mark of 47.50.
The French star was extremely confident about his team's chances heading into the big showdown. "The Americans? We're going to smash them," Bernard said. "That's what we came here for.
"If the relay goes according to plans, than we'll be on a roll."Only Bernard didn't count on Lezak and the Americans spoiling those plans.
Bernard reminds me of the taunting French soldier from "Spamalot".
French Soldier: I don't want to talk to you no more, you empty headed animal food trough wiper. I fart in your general direction. Your mother was a hamster and your father smelt of elderberries.
Sir Galahad: Is there someone else up there we can talk to?French Soldier: No, now go away or I shall taunt you a second time.
Taunt at your own risk, Frenchie.
