It was worth waiting for the last race of the last day of competition. Because Maxime Grousset and his mustache had saved the best for last. This Sunday evening, the 23-year-old Caledonian finished the French championships in spectacular fashion, crushing the final of the 100 freestyle. Without competition to his size, the Caledonian slammed into the once canonical Odyssey basin of 45”61. A time that places him in second place in the world record, behind the Australian Kyle Chalmers (45 ”52).

“I would have liked to get over it, but I’m happy nonetheless, Grousset tasted in the mixed zone. I wanted to be under 46 ”, I’m 45”60. You could say that I really broke the barrier. “
And he signed an unprecedented hat-trick in the waters of Chartres, having dominated Florent Manaudou on Friday evening in the 50m, before continuing the next day in the 200m. “I thought I died after my 200s, but I have recovered very well, it’s fantastic. These are truly successful leagues. Now it will be necessary to materialize on an international level. ”

The appointment is already fixed, it will be from 13 to 19 December, on the other side of the planet, in Melbourne, Australia, where Grousset will probably fight for the medal. France will present itself with about twenty swimmers, according to the selection communicated this Sunday evening by the staff. This is four more than the initially planned quota.
New title for Bonnet
These days, in Chartres, some have won the ticket, like Mewen Tomac, for example. In the shadow of Yohann N’Doye Brouard last summer, the Amiens defender won three titles at Eure-et-Loir, the third, this Sunday, on 50 backstrokes. Other youngsters have also pointed their noses to these championships, such as Carl Aitkaci in the frog, Pauline Mahieu on the back or even Émilien Mattenet in the mix. The three took their second personal title on the last day and were awarded with the selection for the world championships.
French Championships in Chartres: Charlotte Bonnet continues her raid!
Charlotte Bonnet will obviously be away too and will remain the great host of these French championships.
