4:55 p.m. – Successful first morning
During this first morning of series at the short course swimming world championships in Budapest, the French swimmers performed well during this first morning, this Tuesday. Indeed, Pauline Mahieu qualified for the semi-finals of the 100m backstroke which she will compete this evening at 6:24 p.m. For the men, Mewen Tomac and Yohann Ndoye-Brouard reached the semi-finals of the 100m backstroke. For their part, Mélanie Hénique and Beryl Gastaldello won two tickets for the semi-finals of the 50m butterfly.
After the euphoria in the Olympic swimming pool during the Paris Olympicsthe greatest swimmers (or almost) meet at 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.
