Dear French Pressers,
Some of you may have noticed I took a long break from blogging and the reason is the Olympic Games or Jeux Olympiques, often abbreviated “JO”.
More specifically, the reason was the horrid 4×100m Men’s Freestyle Relay, in which the Americans beat the race favorite, the French, by several hundreths of a second. It was widely publicized by NBC that Alain Bernard, the French team’s relay anchor, stated that “the French came to smash the Americans”. Embarrassed, confused, and depressed, I went into emotional hiding.
That is, until last night.
I’m proud to say Alain Bernard reclaimed his pride, his world record, and France’s gold medal last night in the Men’s Individual 100m Freestyle.
Bernard kissing the gold medal he should've won several days ago.
Ahhh… jubilation!
If only Laure Manaudou were so lucky. But alas, that girl just has too many problems on her plate.
So welcome back to the French Press!
Allez France!
