While she was wondering about the next step in her career, last summer in Chartres after missing the selection for the Olympic Games, Adeline Furst showed what kind of champion she was, this weekend in Montpellier .
After having already been titled Thursday at the opening of the French championships over 800 m, the Ersteinoise returned to cover this Saturday, this time over 1,500 m, precisely the distance over which she was running for a sesame for Tokyo a few months ago. It is the first time that the Alsacienne has been crowned at the same time over 800 and 1500 m on the national scene.

To avoid spoiling the matter, the swimmer licensed at the Toulouse OEC Dauphins, only beaten by the Russian Anastassia Kirpichnikova (who could not claim the title), subtracted more than four seconds from her personal best (16’28 ‘ ’28 against 16’32”69 last June), breaking the symbolic bar of 16 minutes and thirty seconds for the first time in his career.
She was not yet at the Olympic minimums required to go to Tokyo at the time (16’21”21), but she is getting closer. Which is not trivial at this stage of the season.

“There is still room I think”
“Already, it’s nice to achieve the double”, smiled Adeline Furst at the exit of the Angelotti swimming pool in Montpellier. “I still thought I could do better, but I tried things that didn’t work. In any case, I validate the work carried out throughout the year. There is still room I think, it bodes well for the future. “
The rest is from next week at the World Cup in Abu Dhabi (United Arab Emirates), where his first 10 km in open water awaits him for two years. An entire program !

The day after his gold medal in the 200m breaststroke, the Vosges du MON won a beautiful bronze medal in the 100m breaststroke (1’01”67, new personal best time), behind Carl Aitkaci and Antoine Viquerat , tied in 1’00”94.

Another Mulhousian in the spotlight, Hugo Grosjean, who cut back a few hundredths at his best time in the 200m freestyle (1’49”72) to finish 7the of the final A. Louis Briesch (Dauphins d’Obernai) climbed to 5e rank in the 50m butterfly in 23”98, a new personal best there too.
