On the men’s side, the only small surprise: the presence of Clément Secchi, who had failed twice at three hundredths to reach the minimums in the 100m butterfly and 200m butterfly. The Marseillais will be part of the adventure alongside seven compatriots, Léon Marchand, Maxime Grousset, Yohann Ndoye Brouard, Mewen Tomac, Antoine Herlem, Roman Fuchs and Damien Joly. In the grip of post-Olympic malaise, Florent Manaudou announced that he had decided not to go to Budapest.
