France Sending 29 to European Juniors in Helsinki

The French Federation (FFN) are sending a delegation of 29 athletes, 21 boys and 8 girls, to the 2018 LEN European Junior Swimming Championships, which will take place from July 4th through July 8th in Helsinki, Finland. The meet is for female swimmers born in 2004, 2003, 2002, and 2001 and male swimmers born in 2003, 2002, 2001, and 2000.

The French Junior National Team was formed based on performances from the 2018 French Elite National Championships in Saint-Raphaël last month. Qualifying for Helsinki were the four fastest swimmers in each event (except the 800 free and 1500 free, where only the top two were eligible) who in their prelims swim met the time standard in Table 1 below.

Among France’s hopefuls on the boys’ team are Guillaume Guth, currently ranked 28th in the 50m free and 21st in the 100m free, in world junior rankings for boys born from 2000-2003; Jean-Marc Delices, 29th in the 100m free; Hugo Sagnes, 33rd in the 200 free (but 4th in the 400 free based on a swim earlier in the season at the Golden Tour stop in Marseille); Paul Beaugrand, 4th in the 800 free; Mewen Tomac, 9th in the 50m back, 15th in the 100m back, and 20th in the 200 IM; Thomas Oswald, 13th in the 50m breast and 31st in the 100m breast; and Jean Lamorisse, 18th in the 50m back and 100m back. The French girls’ team is much smaller but packs punch nonetheless, with Louise Lefebvre, 13th in the 50m back, 17th in the 100m back, and 34th in the 200 back on the world stage so far this season; Camille Mallet, 23rd in the 50m breast and 27th in the 100m breast; Clara Basso-Bert, 30th in the 100m breast; and Margot Cachot, 31st in the 50m fly and 40th in the 100m fly.
