Léon Marchand wins the 100m breaststroke at the Réunion meeting, his third victory in as many races

Physically and psychologically exhausted, Marchand did not take part in the Short Course World Championships in Budapest and this trip to Reunion was precisely aimed at rediscovering the pleasure of swimming. “I got a lot of sunburn, he admitted after the race with a laugh. Now I'm going to take a week's vacation, spend the holidays in Toulouse. » He will then fly to Australia early next year for two to three months to prepare for his season with Australian coach Dean Boxall, before meeting coach Bob Bowman in Austin, United States.
