YouTube - 100 free semi final -world record by alain bernard
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?).
The French relay looks like it will be even better at Worlds.

It's what's inside the suit that matters.
We all know that Bernard is a great swimmer. He beat everyone in beijing when everyone was wearing the same suit. He's proved that he is #1 already. But when it comes to breaking sulivans wr in a different suit, it comes down to whats on the outside of the swimmer. Could he have done this in an lzr? We don't know, thats the problem. Bernards coach said that he is going to wear the fastest suit, he choose the arena x-glide. I guess he thinks the lzr is slower than the x-glide. It's an incredible swim but there are no standards for comparison so it comes down to whats on the outside, we already know what he has on the inside.
