This Tuesday, July 25, the French swimming delegation could bring back several medals
Third day of the World Swimming Championships in Japan. After the gold medal Leon Marchand Sunday and the bronze of Maxime Grousset on Monday, several medals could fall this Tuesday, July 25. On the program of the day, the 1500m final with the French Anastasiia Kirpichnikova, trained by Philippe Lucas, who can why not dream of a place on the box. Our main chances, however, lie with Pauline Mahieu in the 100m backstroke and our Frenchmen Mewen Tomac and Yohann Ndoye Brouard, over the same distance in the men’s race.
The evening session will conclude with the semi-finals of the 200m butterfly with Léon Marchand, qualified in the night for the semi-finals, without forcing his talent too much. “The objective was to spend as little energy as possible without taking too many risks in qualifying, which he did very well,” analyzed Denis Auguin, the manager of the France team.

Like Kylian Mbappé in football or Victor Wembanyama in basketball, Léon Marchand continues to be talked about. He belongs to this young generation of precocious French athletes in performance. At 21, he is already world champion in the 200m medley and the 400m medley. In the 200m butterfly, he is world vice-champion. During the 2023 French Championships in Rennes in June 2023, the Toulousain took gold in the 5 events in which he entered.
But the most impressive thing is that he broke a record of Michael Phelps in the 200m medley at the Pro Swim Series last April. A feat now overshadowed by his historic performance at the 2023 World Swimming Championships. On July 23, Léon Marchand won gold in the 400m medley, thus winning his 3rd world title and above all smashing the record held since 2008 on this event by Michael Phelps.
Out of breath? Florent Manaudou has not left an image of a swimmer tired of success in recent weeks. The little brother of Laure Manaudou won gold in her favorite swim, the 50m freestyle. Better, he achieved in Rennes on June 15, the best world performance of the year. Florent Manaudou will arrive in Japan with certainties and once again unshakable confidence. It is the first time that he will swim again during the World Championships in long course. His last appearance in this competition dates back to 2015.
