It was different from usual. The weather isn’t great, but hey, I think I’m holding back unconsciously. So we’ll have to see how it goes. happened. I qualify in sixth position, so that’s good, really good. I’m even numbered and I’ll be in the first half, that’s exactly what I wanted, so really good. I’m going to have to push myself because it’s not going to come in that easily. I had a bit of strange feelings this morning, I’m doing a big warm-up and then… When I know there’s nothing at stake, it’s always the same. So it’s good, It always creates a little doubt. I need this doubt to swim quickly in the evening.”

It’s a good race. I wanted to win my series and I did. These are benchmarks. Afterwards the goal is to do better each time. time Afterwards, the goal will be to go under 46 and then, we will see I feel a difference compared to if I had done the 50 m butterfly, after which I do not lose a lot of energy doing races. Generally, I feel good”, declared the tricolor swimmer.

4:45 p.m. – Good evening everyone!
Good evening everyone! Welcome to the second evening of the World Short Course Swimming Championships in Budapest. Start of the first events from 5:30 p.m.
After the euphoria in the Olympic swimming pool during the Paris Olympics, the greatest swimmers (or almost) meet up for the short course world championships near Budapest in Hungary. While Léon Marchand could have completed his year at the top, the multiple Olympic champion decided to withdraw, “tired” and “exhausted” by all the races and events. “It’s time for me to take a step back, train hard and start preparing for the challenges ahead,” he said on social media.
Consequence of his withdrawal, a fairly poor French delegation and low chances of medals even if we will closely follow Maxime Grousset, Anastasiia Kirpichnikova or our back specialists Yohann Ndoye-Brouard and Mewen Tomac. But traditionally, these Worlds are more complicated to follow and are not the specialty of the French. The reason? “The real problem is that between the 50 and 25 m pools, it’s a bit like between tennis and table tennis: they look similar but they are two different sports” explained to the Fabrice Pellerin period.
