Beryl Gastaldello Sets National 100 Back Record Among Golden Campaign At French Short-Course Championships<\/h4>\n

The French Short-Course Championships<\/strong> wrapped up in Montpellier after four days of competition which featured standout campaigns by Beryl Gastaldello<\/strong>, Maxime Grousset<\/strong> and Mewen Tomac<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The event served as a selection meet for the World Short-Course Championships that run from 10-15 December in Budapest with the France team set to be confirmed in the coming days.<\/p>\n

Leon Marchand<\/strong> is among those set for the Hungarian capital with the four-time Olympic champion having competed on the World Cup tour at which he was crowned overall men’s champion<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Gastaldello set a national 100 back record of 56.07 on the penultimate day which was witnessed by her 94-year-old grandmother who was watching her swim for the first time. Behind her in second, Pauline Mahieu<\/strong> also booked a slot for worlds.<\/p>\n

Following her record performance, she said through the French Federation: “It’s great this French record! I’m happy, I really feel that I still have a lot left in me.”<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old – winner of world and European medals in the long and short-course pools – won the 100 free (51.66) and 100IM (57.93) before bringing her competition to a close with a 24.76 blast in the 50 fly to ensure a busy programme in Budapest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Grousset won six titles, wrapping up his programme with a 20.96 victory in the 50 free. That followed golds in the 50 fly (22.50), 100 fly (49.50), 100IM (51.93), 50m breaststroke (26.42) and 100 free (46.13).<\/p>\n

Tomac completed the backstroke treble, starting off with a Budapest QT over 200m of 1:51.15 where he was joined by Antoine Herlem<\/strong> (1:51.94).<\/p>\n

He also qualified in the 100 in 50.28 although his winning time of 23.29 hasn’t as yet made the cut. Tomac also won the 200IM in 1:54.07.<\/p>\n

Others all but confirmed for Budapest were Analia Pigree<\/strong>, winner of the 50 back (26.21) and 50 free with Melanie Henique<\/strong> also booking a slot in the latter; Damien Joly<\/strong> (800\/1500 free) and Roman Fuchs (200\/400 free) with Mahieu adding the 200 back to her 100 berth.<\/p>\n
