But the phenomenon of the basins has decided to add to his 100 freestyle Olympic project, just to liven up his daily and weekly races in Rio. But Manaudou has struggled to grasp it and play yo-yo for two years. Early in the season, he had announced that it was his choice to the 100, and not that of his coach at Marseille, Romain Barnier.
“This is unworthy”
Friday, so it was highly anticipated series of the distance for his first 100m of the season. But the rider is not mounted on the starting platform, isolated on a walkway, his towel around his waist. “Not want,” he only meant refusing to comment on the plan.
“Unworthy” responded Romain Barnier, also head coach at the Blues. “I do not condone this behavior, I find it unworthy of an Olympic champion, unworthy of a member of the France team, unworthy of a member of the Circle of swimmers Marseille and someone who represents many things for the French swimmers, “commented the coach.
” Ras-bowl “of 100 meters
The day before, the swimmer 25 years did not hide his irritation after winning his favorite race, the 50 freestyle in a time (21.20) far from his world record (20.26).

Jean-Luc Manaudou, his son Florent was served a “ras-le-bol” vis-à-vis the 100: “This is probably the vox populi that inspires the 100m. By dint of too much about him, many manage to disgust. If you want a day Florent swim a 100 m, stop taking his head with the 100! “Defended the dad.
” If his preparation 100m must make it change things on 50 m, this is a very bad calculation. It would be stupid to risk to an Olympic title in Rio, “he said. But according Barnier 100 m is not in question. “It has to do with the disappointment of 50 m.”
Nevertheless, Manaudou will have to decide quickly what he wants. And stick to it. The Games are not far away.
