Alain Bernard - 46.94 100 meter free

Not only no SDKs, but he went the least distance underwater on the turn- By far. Cool video- thanks for sharing.

I guess I'm used to, or comfortable with, being lapped by a lot faster people in a SCY pool, but this guy could almost lap me LONG COURSE! :lmao:

Bernard was a full body length in front of the WR red line, with 15 meteres to go, and just finished slightly ahead. This happens all the time, though. Remember they only know the world record splits so that red line is going to move at a constant speed representing the time for that 50 meters. Obviously you're going the fastest right out of the turn, so it's natural that the 'red line' will have a tendency to catch up at the end of the length. Not saying he didn't die a little, but I think this explains some of it.

Huh? Is that how they make the WR line? Wouldn't it be simple to actually have the red line generated from the prior footage? A simple computer program could track the "real" line. No? It's possible I think- they did something like that with downhill skiing a few years ago if I remember correctly. But that was on the same course from the same camera position- might be more difficult with different and new perspectives. Maybe they could change the rates between lane line meter marks? Interesting question, JMiller.

Yes, no SDK there was made...nice video. Thanks

Another world record in the 100 meter free. Looks like Bernard is wearing an Arena tech suit. It seemed like a pretty controlled swim. I wonder how long it will take to get down to 46.5 (maybe this summer?) Tim Hey Tim, thanks for posting this. WHOA!!?? Bernard was a full body length in front of the WR red line, with 15 meters to go, and just finished slightly ahead. Looking forward to seeing the finals! On another note, some interesting camera work being done, good to see!! :applaud:

last week was the jaked, this week its the arena x-glide that is the best suit...This is so stupid.

last week was the jaked, this week its the arena x-glide that is the best suit...This is so stupid. Has Bernard raced in the Jaked?

Has Bernard raced in the Jaked? I don't think so, but everyone is automaticly going to assume that the arena suit is the best now. I could be wrong about that. But it seems like the overall best suit switches all the time.

Not only no SDKs, but he went the least distance underwater on the turn- By far. Cool video- thanks for sharing. He got beat pretty handily on the start by the guy in lane 3 though
