Among the swimmers is Camille Lacourt, who plans to retire after the 2017 World Championships. Also in the mix are medal contenders Charlotte BonnetJérémy Stravius and Mehdy Metella.

Maybe this is closer to an average French team, but the FFN broke the spirit and momentum of the great progress that had been made. Those qualifying standards were ridiculous. LaCourt (32) and Stravius (28) don’t have much time left, so why kill off the younger talent?

Lacourt doesn’t have much time left. He retires after Budapest. 🙂
And about the qualifying standars they have put in place the same kind of policy in early 2000s. And it has been successful. They just send a message to the athletes and to the coaches.

Only 4 men on the French team for men?

I would rather say much more normal times for French swimming.

poor coaching or lack of talent?

Certainly not poor coaching. We have some of the best coaches in the world.
But the pool of young talents has always been very short.
I add that’s it’s tough to be a high-level athlete and at the same time to pursue an education in France.
