Emma Terebo and Yohann Ndoye Brouard dominated the 100m backstroke finals of the French Swimming Championships on Wednesday in Limoges, and validated their qualification for the Worlds and the Euro this summer. The women’s final, which offered a high plateau, saw two swimmers go down under the minute, Emma Terebo winning in 59 sec 64, three hundredths ahead of Mary-Ambre Moluh, 16 years old.
The two swimmers are close to Laure Manaudou’s old French record, 59 sec 50, dating from 2008. For men, Yohann Ndoye Brouard, bronze medalist at the 2021 European Championships, won the final in 53 sec 45 ahead of Mewen Tomac (53 sec 72).
