the 100m-butterfly final with Marie Wattel, the 50m-butterfly final with Maxime Grousset… Races not to be missed on Mondays

Second day of competition at the World Swimming Championships. The day after Léon Marchand’s second crowning and world record in the 400m medley, Monday 24 July, the French team returns to the pool at the sublime Marine Messe Fukuoka with just as many ambitions.

On the 100 butterfly will try to return to the pits Marie Wattel, vice world champion in the specialty a year ago in Budapest. Maxime Grousset qualified for the final by signing, on Sunday, the second and third best world performance of the year in the 50m butterfly (22”72 and 22”74), simultaneously beating the French record (22”84), long shared by Frédérick Bousquet (2009) and Florent Manaudou (2015).

Finally, in the semifinals of the men’s 100m backstroke, Mewen Tomac, eighth best world performer this year, and Yohann Ndoye-Brouard, reigning European champion, will want to shine.
