Passion: Will Not Fail Again


Alain Bernard showed the world last night that he has a little more in him then Jason Lezak and Eamon Sullivan.

Alain Bernard of France won the 100m freestyle, touching out world-record holder Eamon Sullivan of Australia by .09 of a second. Bernard had something to prove in this event after France lost the 4x100m free relay by a fingernail. Bernard dove in to swim the anchor leg with more than a half-second lead over the Americans but couldn't hold off Jason Lezak down the stretch and lost the race by .08 of a second.
"I only just lost a race where someone beat me to the wall, and I didn't want that to happen again," Bernard said.

Bernard emerged in 2007 as an elite sprinter when he clocked the second-fastest 100m free ever and had the fastest 50m free in the world for the year.
