Jeremy Stravius ​​is needed before the 200m NL Yannick Agnel, both miss the minimum – Eurosport.fr

         Not surprisingly, Jeremy Stravius ​​dominated the final of the 200 meters of France Championships Wednesday in Montpellier. Dominating in the playoffs, Picard has become final in 1’46 “48, just above the minimum qualifying for the Rio Games imposed by the French Federation, set at 1’46″ 06. Yannick Agnel, author of a time of 1’46 “99, remained meanwhile far from the qualifying mark. For the time before the repechage, nobody has thus validated his ticket to the Olympics this distance who had devoted Agnel in London in 2012.
       

         This 200 meters ended in confusion. If Stravius ​​producing his effort in the last pool length, won by a comfortable margin, the second resulted in a mess. While Yannick Agnel gave the impression to touch sharply in second, it was announced that in third place, behind Jordan POTHAIN. Such mishap had already arrived in Nice in the morning in the playoffs. Fifteen minutes after the final, the final race classification had also not been formalized.
       

         After signing only the fourth time in series, Yannick Agnel, as expected, took all the risks in the final. Party on extremely high bases, the Olympic champion has suffered in the last 50, where he let fly a Jeremy Stravius ​​much metronome and master of his efforts. If he was the strongest, so the native of Abbeville could not hang these famous minimums. But his time is still third office best world performance of the year 200 and no swimmer in the world has established the 1’46 “06 best 2016 time of 1’46″ 10), which shows the difficulty of the scale established by the DTN.
       

         So there are chances that Stravius ​​among the six swimmers fished out (there will also be six swimmers) at the end of the Championships of France. While it would clearly have preferred to swim 12 hundredths faster to settle the problem of the Olympic qualification. The case of Yannick Agnel might be more difficult. If his time (1’46 “99) is finally approved and in second place, the draft will probably be more problematic One thing is certain in any case. This final density promises a high level tricolor 4x200m relay this summer .
