\u201cI’m very happy because throughout the year I’ve struggled to find my stroke in the 100m backstroke.<\/p>\n
“Today I found it right away and I’m happy. I worked a lot on the start this year because it was on this part that I was losing time compared to the others.<\/p>\n
“It’s the second time I’ve swum under 53′. It’s cool to come back to that level. I will work even more to hope to go faster.”<\/p>\n
For Ndoye Brouard, there was relief as he booked his slot on the team months after injuring his elbow in a skiing accident.<\/p>\n
“I don’t think I have often swum faster than 53.4. It’s a good time, I’m happy because I think I can do better at the World Championships.<\/p>\n
“I’m having a little trouble concentrating on my race so I I tried not to look at Mewen and focus on myself.<\/p>\n
“I had to redo a whole mental scheme because after an injury there is inevitably a drop in confidence and there, that I’m recovering well.<\/p>\n
“It was a race against time, it was hard to manage sometimes, between the intensity that I wanted to put in training and the intensity that my body could endure.<\/p>\n
“There are five weeks left and I think still be able to do some work. I’m not yet super confident.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
There was drama in the women’s race where just 0.14 separated the first three home with European junior bronze medallist Mary-Ambre Moluh<\/strong> missing out on a spot by 0.01.<\/p>\nEmma Terebo<\/strong> led at halfway with the only sub-29 of the field ahead of European 50 champion Analia Pigree<\/strong> (29.10) and Moluh (29.17) with Pauline Mahieu<\/strong> a further 0.15 adrift in 29.32.<\/p>\nMahieu – fourth at last year’s Europeans in Rome – came past the field in 30.34 to take first in 59.66 with Pigree claiming the second spot for Fukuoka in 59.79 and Moluh a slither behind in 59.80.<\/p>\n
Mahieu said:<\/p>\n
\u201cI am really relieved and happy.\u00a0I loved this race.\u00a0I’m not lying to you, there was a crazy pressure because it was the place that counted above all.<\/p>\n
“Time, we had all four, the proof. I’m so happy to have won.<\/p>\n
“My strategy was not to look at others. I know they tend to go fast and if I start staring I tend to think. I work on that in training. I know I have a big comeback and that’s what I managed to put in place again today.<\/p>\n
“To compete in this event as an individual at the Worlds is incredible. I’ve been dreaming about this for years and it’s finally here.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Marchand Goes Third All-Time In France; Kirpichnikova Eyes Record<\/h3>\n
Marchand – who produced a sabre-rattler in the 200br on Sunday to go fourth all-time in 2:06.59 – was seventh at halfway of the 200 free in 52.40 with Wissam-Amazigh Yebba<\/strong> in pole in 51.38.<\/p>\nYebba led at the final turn in 1:19.09 ahead of Roman Fuchs<\/strong> – swiftest qualifier with his first sub-1:47 in the prelims – who reached 150 at 1:19.34 with Marchand third in 1:19.43 thanks to a third 50 of 27.03.<\/p>\nThe Bob Bowman-trained athlete then turned on the burners and came home in 27.01 to take first in 1:46.44.<\/p>\n
Hadrien Salvan<\/strong> was second in 1:46.82 with Fuchs next home in 1:46.93 although only Marchand was inside the Fukuoka cut of 1:46.79.<\/p>\nIt lowered his PB of 1:48.70 from the morning prelims and elevated him to third in French waters behind only Yannick Agnel<\/strong> (1:43.14) and Jeremy Stravius<\/strong> (1:45.61).<\/p>\nHe said:<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was nice.\u00a0I wanted to win this race.\u00a0The plateau was quite high and my best time was 1:48.70 so I didn’t have too many expectations. I built my race better than in the heats.<\/p>\n
“I put less legs in the first 100m, which allowed me to finish well. I think I swam at my level but I had never really had the opportunity to swim this event.<\/p>\n
“I had already been very quickly in short course in the United States. It’s difficult to confirm in the long course, it’s not an easy race but it’s a good start. We’ll have to swim faster. I think we manage to build a nice 4×200 m relay. We can aim for a podium this summer and we will all have to be at our best level.”<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Kirpichnikova – now holding French citizenship – added the 1500 to her 400 title to make it two swims so far in Fukuoka.<\/p>\n
She won silver in the 800 and 1500 at the 2020 Europeans while representing Russia and was second in the 800 with the Russian Federation at the 2021 short-course worlds.<\/p>\n
Now she has her eyes on Manaudou’s national mark, saying:<\/p>\n
“Yes, I wanted to break the record.\u00a0This competition is tough because it’s been a long time since I swam at a competition like this.<\/p>\n
“But that’s life ! I hope I will do it at the World Championships. For me, it’s hard to swim alone, because I’ve been swimming alone for two years and I hope it will be more interesting in the big championships.<\/p>\n
“I still have the 800m and maybe even the 200m.”<\/p>\n
Elsewhere in Rennes,\u00a0Charlotte Bonnet<\/strong> won the 200 breaststroke to claim her second title in as many days following her 200IM gold on Sunday although her time of 2:25.21 wasn’t enough to earn her a second swim in Fukuoka as yet.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
