Florent Manaudou in the 50m freestyle and Léon Marchand in the 200m medley won the victory. their tickets for the final. Maxime Grousset, 3rd in his half, declared package for the 50m final so as not to compromise his chances in the 100m butterfly The essentials Live Once again, it was Léon Marchand who stood out best among the French during this night swimming session. The Toulouse native qualified brilliantly for the 200m medley final by finishing first in his heat ahead of Seto in 1,56,31. Despite the fatigue that is starting to show, the triple Olympic champion will be the big favorite tomorrow in the final. They should have disappointed There being two, there will only be one Frenchman in the 50m freestyle final. Manaudou 8th best time in the half (21'64'') will not be accompanied by by Maxime Grousset. The New Caledonian finished 3rd in his series in 21'60 but he declared é package for the final tomorrow. The New Caledonian prefers to concentrate on the 100m butterfly, a distance in which he is world champion. Mewen Tomac, fourth in the 200m backstroke final, will probably have some regrets about his start to the race. The Frenchman finished just off the podium in a race won by the Hungarian Kos ahead of the Greek Christou. The two small disappointments of the evening came from the girls' side. Emma Terebo and Pauline Terebo, respectively 4th and 5th in their semi-final, were unable to reach the 200m backstroke final. This was the goal of the two swimmers and the task was not out of reach. Maxime Grousset has just withdrawn from the 50m freestyle final. Third in his semi-final in 21.60, the New Caledonian prefers to focus on the 100m butterfly, a distance in which he is the reigning world champion.

I was at my best from start to finish. I'm starting to feel this fatigue from the series of races. Now I have another challenge tomorrow the 4 x 200m, we need to rest well” Largely in the lead after 150 meters, Marchand calmly managed his last 50 meters by saving his efforts according to the speed of the Japanese Seto.
