In francese, il termine per i costumi da gara \u00e8 combinaison, combinazione. Ci fu un\u2019epoca in cui si parl\u00f2 di nuoto pi\u00f9 per i costumi che per i protagonisti: gli anni dei costumoni in poliuretano. Alain Bernard ha vissuto quell\u2019epoca, vinse l\u2019oro olimpico nei 100 stile a Pechino 2008, come gli anni immediatamente precedenti e successivi \u201cSe i gommati hanno cambiato fisicamente i nuotatori? Non credo. Quantomeno, non \u00e8 solo questione di costumi\u201d dichiara in un\u2019intervista t\u00eate-\u00e0-t\u00eate a Swimbiz.it, durante la presentazione della sua partnership con Aqua Sphere a Genova(leggi qui). Per l\u2019ex velocista francese, il nuoto \u00e8 ed \u00e8 sempre stato una combinazione di fattori \u201cCambia il modo di allenarsi: era diverso cinque anni fa e lo sar\u00e0 tra dieci. Anche oggi ci sono nuotatori massicci come Magnussen o Manaudou \u2013 e per il futuro \u2013 ne sono certo, pima o poi si torner\u00e0 al costume intero, senza certe esagerazioni del passato\u201d. Difficile indicare il prossimo campione olimpico nella velocit\u00e0 \u201cMcEvoy sar\u00e0 sul podio, forse li nuoter\u00e0 anche Florent Manaudou \u2013 leader anche per il futuro? \u2013 se continuer\u00e0 dopo Rio 2016, e credo di s\u00ec, ne ha le capacit\u00e0. E\u2019 il pi\u00f9 titolato della nazionale, che sta vivendo un momento difficile, ma con i duri criteri imposti dal ct sar\u00e0 meno numerosa, ma pi\u00f9 competitiva\u201d. Bernard non usa mai l\u2019intercalare c\u2019est genial tanto caro ai giovani francesi, nuotatori compresi. Quelle generazioni acquatiche ispirate da lui e Laure Manaudou \u201cLa storia recente del nuoto francese \u00e8 simile a quella italiana. Come Rosolino, Fioravanti, Pellegrini da voi, la nostra generazione ha reso il nuoto mediatico\u201d. Prima, i nuotatori in Francia erano visti come rigidi e seriosi. Poi arriv\u00f2 l\u2019oltre vasca: gossip, tv, copertine, tatuaggi\u2026 improvvisamente, il nuoto per i giovani francesi era cool \u201cLa popolarit\u00e0 dei nuotatori in Francia \u00e8 seconda solo al calcio. E penso che Federica Pellegrini sia la massima espressione, non solo in Italia, del nuoto superstar\u201d. Lo sa bene Bernard, anche uomo di televisione come commentatore per Eurosport (ma per Rio 2016 non \u00e8 ancora ufficiale). E\u2019 stato gendarme, \u00e8 single ma vorrebbe sposarsi e\u00a0la sua passione \u00e8 pilotare aerei \u201cNo, non ho smesso dopo quel terribile incidente in Argentina(leggi qui). Pu\u00f2 sembrare egoistico, ma la verit\u00e0 \u00e8 che va accettato come una fatalit\u00e0, come un incidente stradale. Ho preso forza da chi mi sta intorno. Paradossalmente, ora ho ancor pi\u00f9 voglia di vivere \u2013 come il suo ricordo di Camille Muffat \u00a0\u2013 una campionessa straordinaria, una ragazza con un\u2019immensa gioia di vivere\u201d.

\nAlain Bernard \"Sure, swimsuits will come back to full body. After the accident, my will of living is even stronger\"
\n\u00a0
\nFrench word for race swimnsuits is combinaison, combination. There was an age when people talked about swimming more for swimsuits than for swimmers: years of polyurethane. Alain Bernard lived those days (he won the Olympic gold medal in 100 m freestyle at Beijing 2008 Olympics Games) as also previous and next years \u201cI don\u2019t\u2019 think that \u2018super swimsuits\u2019 morphologically changed swimmers \u2013 he says, in a one-to-one interview with Swimbiz.it, during official presentation of his partnership with Italian swimwear brand Aqua Sphere \u2013\u00a0or they weren\u2019t the only reason\". According to him, swimming haa always been a combination of factors \"What really changed is training: the way swimmers train today is very different from 5 years \u00a0ago, and will change again in the next ten years. Nowadays there are massive swimmers too, like Magnussen or Manaudou\u201d. Looking at the future \u201cI\u2019m sure that, one day or another, male swimmers will come back to full body, but without some exagerations of past\u201d. It\u2019s hard to predict next Olympic king of 100 m free \u201cI think McEvoy will reach podium, Florent Manaudou could swim it too \u2013 leader of french swimming for he next years? \u2013 if he doesnt' leave swimming after Rio 2016, and I think he won't leave, he surely can be that leader: he\u2019s our most titled swmmer. French national team is not in an easy moment, but team for Rio 2016 will be less numerous than usual and very competitive\u201d. Bernard never uses the expression c\u2019est genial,\u00a0so common among French young boys, swimmers too. Those \u201caquatic\u201d generations inspired by him and Laure Manaudou \u201cMost recent years of fench and Italian swimming are very similar: just like Rosolino, Fioravanti and Pellegrini in Italy, we made French swimming mass mediatic\u201d. Before them, swimmer were mostly considered \u2018square and stuffy\u2019 by young French. Than, it was the time of \u2018over pool\u2019: gossip, tv, covers, tattoos\u2026 suddenly, swimming was cool \u201cSwimmer\u2019s popularity in France is probably second only to football. Federica Pellegrini could be considered, not only in Italy, the perfect example of swimmer superstar\u201d. And Bernard knows mass media's world very well, being a sport commentator for Eurosport (but nothing is official yet for Rio 2016). He\u2019s been a gendarme (military police), he\u2019s single but plans to marry in the future and his passion is to pilot planes \u201cNo, I didn\u2019t\u2019 stop after that terrible accident in Argentina. Could sound egoistic to say, but the truth is that it must be considered a fataliy of life, just as a car accident. People around me gave me strength and, paradoxically, now my will of living is even stronger than before \u2013 just like his best memory of Camille Muffat \u2013 an extraordinary champion, a girl with an incredible joy for life\u201d.
