Although very limited, the French delegation did not shine during the Worlds in Doha.
Zero medals for the French clan since the start of the Swimming World Championships in Doha and some disappointments. If the big names have decided to skip it to better prepare for the Olympic Games, it remains the World Championships and France is not yet there. The big disappointment came from Charlotte Bonnet this Monday, February 12. The road captain of this French team only took 7th place in the 4x100m medley final won by Kate Douglas. Anastasiia Kirpichnikova, qualified for the 1500m, is one of the rare chances of a medal, but unfortunately the Frenchwoman is ill and will have difficulty keeping up with the competitors.
