For French swimmers, the Los Angeles 2028 Games are already tomorrow. In the literal sense of the word. A delegation of 18 athletes (plus the “Americans” Léon Marchand and Marie Wattel who will join them there) is flying off this Monday, January 5 for an eight-day course in California.
Exit the island of Tenerife, where the Blues used to start the year, and hello El Segundo, in the southern suburbs of the City of Angels. A way to combine the useful… with the useful, both logistically and physiologically.
