Gianlu33 3,572 Posted March 30, 2016 #51 Share Posted March 30, 2016 What a disaster for the French Federation.. I really don't understand why if an athlete was very strong but lose the trials he can't go at the OG. It was a very strange sistem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoshMartini007 2,211 Posted April 1, 2016 #54 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Since yesterday only 1 individual athlete has reached the French standard. Hopefully France rethinks its policy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Federer91 2,140 Posted April 1, 2016 #56 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Of course France will change the qualification criteria, no way they keep this present system . We shoud just wait till it gets closer to the games to see who will eventually be on the team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He wont be able to swim the individual mens 100 free, although many people saw him as a gold medal contender. I think this is quite a big upset. On the other hand he will probably win 2 gold medals, so this wont hurt him too much. I think that athletes like Grangeon, Santamans or Joly all will be selected in the end, so no need for all the stress, in addition to that many athletes will be selected for the relays, so France will probably have about 20 athletes in swimming at the olympics. Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
