Swiss Aquatics se rendra aux CM avec six nageurs et nageuses

 

Pour les Championnats du monde qui se dérouleront à Doha du 2 au 18 février 2024, Swiss Aquatics a sélectionné cinq nageurs et nageuses pour les épreuves en piscine et un nageur pour les épreuves en eau libre. Après que le plongeon a déjà sélectionné ses huit athlètes fin novembre, la délégation suisse pour les World Aquatics Championships est désormais connue au complet.

Une équipe talentueuse, petite mais très forte, se rendra à Doha en février. Les cinq nageurs et nageuses qui participent aux épreuves en piscine ont ainsi remporté 11 médailles lors de championnats internationaux tels que les championnats d'Europe, les championnats du monde ou les Jeux olympiques. Les Genevois Roman Mityukov, médaillé de bronze du 200 m dos aux derniers championnats du monde de Fukuoka, et Jérémy Desplanches, médaillé de bronze du 200 m 4 nages aux Jeux olympiques de Tokyo, la Zurichoise Lisa Mamié, championne d'Europe en titre du 200 m brasse, Antonio Djakovic d'Uster, double vice-champion d'Europe à Rome 2022, et le St. Gallois Marius Toscan, qui a réussi la limite pour ces championnats lors du Swiss Open de Sursee le 15 décembre et pourra ainsi se rendre à ses deuxièmes championnats du monde consécutifs.

Si Antonio Djakovic et Roman Mityukov ont déjà réussi à se qualifier pour les Jeux Olympiques de Paris l'année prochaine, l'objectif déclaré de Lisa Mamié et Jérémy Desplanches est de passer sous cette limite de qualification et de décrocher également leur billet pour Paris.

En eau libre, un seul athlète représentera la Suisse. Christian Schreiber, le seul athlète suisse d'Open Water à s'être établi dans l'élite mondiale, se rendra également à Doha avec l'objectif de se qualifier pour les Jeux de Paris.

Noè Ponti, qui avait écrit l'histoire de son sport lors des championnats d'Europe en petit bassin début décembre en réalisant un triplé en or et en battant le record d'Europe du 100 m papillon, renoncera à ces championnats, comme il l'avait déjà annoncé, afin de pouvoir se consacrer pleinement à la préparation des Jeux de Paris. D'autres stars de la natation ont également pris cette décision et les champions olympiques australiens Ariarne Titmus, Mollie O'Callaghan ou Kyle Chalmers, entre autres, ne seront pas présents à Doha. Pendant ce temps, Ponti effectuera un camp d'entraînement en altitude à St. Moritz avec une petite équipe de neuf athlètes de Swiss Aquatics.

La phase de préparation pour les Championnats du monde a déjà commencé. Les athlètes sont partis hier et aujourd'hui pour Ténériffe afin d'y effectuer un camp d'entraînement dans des conditions optimales, avant de peaufiner leur préparation en Suisse à partir de la mi-janvier.

World Aquatics Training Centre's Coaches Propel Athletes to Higher Echelons

 

Scholarship swimmers and divers residing and training at six locations across four continents are thriving, seizing opportunities along their quest to compete in Doha and Paris in 2024.

You might call it the ‘United Nations’ of Aquatics.

From Cuba to India, Sri Lanka to Serbia, a vastly diverse group of swimmers and divers are benefiting from the tutelage of elite coaches and honing their abilities at six World Aquatics Training Centres. The elite-level training centres provide top-notch facilities for athletes in the World Aquatics Scholarship Programme, now in its 10th year.

https://www.worldaquatics.com/development/programmes/scholarships

 

The highly-esteemed French coach Frédéric Vergnoux – who has coached swimmers at five Olympics as head of the British, Spanish and Belgian national teams – recently took the helm as Executive Director at the Cercle des Nageurs d’Antibes (CN Antibes), helping to launch the programme’s newest training centre.

Vergnoux says the international diversity provides for an entirely new challenge, unlike any previous over his numerous years of coaching elite-level swimming.

“Every single day, every single practice when I come poolside, I’m like this is just amazing – the culture we have here around the pool is so unique, the value of the program and the experience of each of the swimmers, it’s all pretty special,” says Vergnoux.

In the elite program at CN Antibes, there are 12 scholarship athletes among the group of 16 international swimmers, spanning 15 countries.

“It is demanding because I coach in four languages – English, French, Spanish and a little bit of Russian,” Vergnoux says. “It’s not easy covering the needs of all the swimmers.”

While the program’s mission is ambitious and demanding, the end goal is rather straightforward – preparing athletes to prosper at the upcoming World Aquatics Championships - Doha 2024 and the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.

“No matter what country they come from, whatever they race, for every single swimmer it’s the same – to represent their countries at the highest level, whether it be at the worlds in Doha or Olympics in France,” Vergnoux says. “They all get along together and it’s really just beautiful.”

The World Aquatics Scholarship Program targets athletes who have displayed strong international potential, providing financial support and expert technical knowledge to those lacking sufficient training opportunities in their home countries.

Vergnoux says coaching athletes from less developed swimming nations is especially rewarding. The veteran French coach expresses his excitement having witnessed 19-year-old Gabriel Martinez of Honduras swimming to national records at the World Aquatics Championships in Fukuoka, Japan and CAC Games last summer.

Rising young talents like Martinez are also benefiting from interaction with top world-class swimmers training in Antibes, notably French Olympic champion Florent Manaudou, among others.

“The level of the programme is so high because it’s not just these 12 from World Aquatics training here,” Vergnoux says. “It is a powerful situation and everyone embraces it.”

122 athlete scholarships are part of the one-year scholarship programme implemented across six designated World Aquatics Training Centers in Antibes, Budapest, Toronto; Davie; Phuket; and at Bond University on Australia’s Gold Coast, and some are training under the supervision of the National Federations.

Swiss Aquatics reist mit sechs Schwimmer innen an die WM

 

Für die Weltmeisterschaften in Doha vom 02.-18. Februar 2024 selektioniert Swiss Aquatics fünf Schwimmer:innen für die Poolwettkämpfe und einen Schwimmer für jene im offenen Gewässer. Nachdem bereits Ende November die Sportart Wasserspringen seine acht Athlet:innen nominiert hatte, steht nun die gesamte Schweizer Delegation für die World Aquatics Championships fest.

Ein kleines, aber sehr starkes, talentiertes Team wird im Februar nach Doha reisen. So holten die fünf Schwimmer:innen der Poolwettkämpfe insgesamt bereits 11 Medaillen an internationalen Meisterschaften wie EM, WM oder Olympischen Spielen. Im Team dabei sein werden die Genfer Roman Mityukov, der an der vergangenen WM in Fukuoka die Bronzemedaille über 200m Rücken gewann, und Jérémy Desplanches, Bronzemedaillengewinner der Olympischen Spiele von Tokyo über 200m Lagen, die Zürcherin Lisa Mamié, amtierende Europameisterin über 200m Brust, Antonio Djakovic aus Uster, Doppelvizeeuropameister von Rom 2022, und der St. Galler Marius Toscan, der an den Swiss Open in Sursee am 15. Dezember die Limite für diese Meisterschaft noch unterbot und so an seine zweiten WM infolge reisen darf.

Haben Antonio Djakovic und Roman Mityukov die Qualifikation für die Olympischen Spiele von Paris im kommenden Jahr bereits geschafft, ist es das erklärte Ziel von Lisa Mamié und Jérémy Desplanches diese Qualifikationslimite zu unterbieten und ebenfalls das Ticket nach Paris zu lösen.

Im offenen Gewässer wird lediglich ein Athlet die Schweiz repräsentieren. Christian Schreiber, der aktuell einzige Open Water Athlet aus der Schweiz, der sich an der Weltspitze etablieren konnte, reist ebenfalls mit dem Ziel nach Doha sich für die Spiele in Paris zu qualifizieren.

Noè Ponti, der an der Kurzbahn-EM Anfang Dezember Sportgeschichte geschrieben hatte mit seinem Goldtriple und dem Europarekord über 100m Schmetterling, wird wie bereits kommuniziert auf diese Meisterschaften verzichten, um sich voll und ganz der Vorbereitung auf die Spiele in Paris widmen zu können. Diese Entscheidung trafen auch andere Topstars der Schwimmszene und so werden unter anderem die australischen Olympiasieger:innen Ariarne Titmus, Mollie O'Callaghan oder Kyle Chalmers in Doha fehlen. Ponti wird stattdessen zusammen mit einem kleinen Team von neun Swiss Aquatics Athlet:innen ein Höhentrainingslager in St. Moritz absolvieren.

Die Vorbereitungsphase für die Weltmeisterschaften wurde bereits eingeläutet. Die Athlet:innen sind gestern beziehungsweise heute nach Teneriffa gereist um dort unter besten Bedingungen ein Trainingslager absolvieren zu können, bevor ab Mitte Januar in der Schweiz der letzte Feinschliff geholt werden wird.

An den VERWAG Immobilien Swiss Open 2023 in Sursee stellte der 20-jährige Berner einen neuen Schweizerrekord über 50m Brust auf.

Im heutigen Vorlauf über 50m Brust stellte Reef Levet, der bereits mehrerer Schweizermeistertitel über diese Distanz feiern konnte, einen neuen Schweizerrekord auf. Mit seiner Zeit von 27.63s verbesserte er den Rekord von Martin Schweizer aus dem Jahr 2015 um 14 Hundertstelsekunden.

SWIM IRELAND Bailey Sets Two New Irish Junior Records on Day Two of Irish Winter Championships

 

Swim Ireland’s Irish National Winter Championships continued at the Sport Ireland National Aquatic Centre today with Evan Bailey setting another two Irish records while Danielle Hill, Ellen Walshe, Victoria Catterson and Eoin Corby added to their national titles from the opening day of competition.

Evan Bailey continued his record-breaking form, with two new Irish junior records in the 50m Butterfly, adding to the two 100m Freestyle Irish junior records he broke on Friday. Bailey first broke Paddy Johnston’s 2019 time of 24.02 in the heats, with a time of 23.84. The 18-year-old lowered that time again in the final to place third in 23.61. National Centre Dublin swimmers Calum Bain and Shane Ryan won gold and silver in 23.19 and 23.26, respectively.

Thirty minutes later, Bailey was back in the pool to claim victory in the 200m Freestyle Final, touching in 1:44.50 ahead of National Centre Limerick’s Jeremy Bagshaw (1:45.14) who won commemorative silver. Finn McGeever won national silver in 1:47.31, while National Centre Dublin’s Danny Morgan (1:49.09) won bronze.

Larne’s Danielle Hill added a third title to the two she won on the opening night of competition, in the 100m Backstroke. Hill, who had set a new Irish record of 57.56 in the event just last week, clocked 58.16, winning gold ahead of National Centre Ulster’s Lottie Cullen (58.41) and Ellen Walshe (59.22).

Walshe starred with a further two titles of her own Saturday. The 400m Individual Medley European bronze medallist won the national title in the same event in 4:41.25 after claiming 50m Butterfly gold earlier in the evening in 26.03.

In the 400m Individual Medley Banbridge’s Alana Burns-Atkin won silver in 4:58.15, while bronze went to Limerick’s Hannah O’Connor 4:59.25. Hill was second in the 50m Butterfly in 26.25 ahead of Ards’ Emma Reid (27.06).

In the women’s 200m Freestyle Final, Victoria Catterson added to the 800m Freestyle title she won on Friday coming home first in 1:56.41, just outside the Irish record of 1:55.90 she set at the European Short Course Championships last week. Walshe (1:59.17) and Grace Davison (1:59.70) were the only other swimmers under the two-minute mark, claiming silver and bronze.

In the Men’s 100m Backstroke Final, NAC’s Matthew Walsh Hussey touched in 54.31 to win his first national title of the weekend, ahead of National Centre Limerick’s Neddie Irwin (55.61), and Swim Belfast’s Brandon Biss (55.66).

Ellie McCartney won her first gold of the weekend in a dominant display in the 200m Breaststroke. The National Centre Limerick swimmer won in 2:25.31 ahead of Shark’s Niamh Connery (2:31.30) and Portmarnock’ s Ava Jones (2:31.76). In the men’s final National Centre Dublin’s Eoin Corby won his second gold of the meet clocking 2:07.67; Tuam’s Uiseann Cooke won silver in 2:10.12 with Terenure’s Liam O’Connor completing the podium in 2:11.49.

Ella Carroll cruised to victory in the women’s 1500m Freestyle Final. The National Centre Limerick swimmer stopped the clock at 17:06.20 and had twenty seconds to spare over Jessika Robson who claimed commemorative silver in 17:29.29. Kilkenny’s Nessa Godden won national silver in 17:42.54, with bronze going to Slaney Shark’s Katie Prunty (17:49.59).

In the Men’s 1500m Final, Trojan’s Ronan Fahey topped the podium in 15:43.40 ahead of National Centre Limerick team-mates Denis O’Brien (15:51.74) and Daragh Horgan (15:58.13).

The final individual event, of the penultimate day of racing, saw Limerick’s Mark Szaranek home first to claim commemorative gold in the 400m Individual Medley in 4:01.67. Winning the national title, National Centre Limerick’s Jack Cassin was close to breaking Daniel Wiffen’s Irish record of 4:11.05, finishing in 4:11.87. 1500m Freestyle champion Fahey was second in 4:34.69 while 1500m Freestyle bronze medallist Horgan added another bronze to his haul in 4:36.67.

Earlier today, Larne swimmers, Danielle Hill, Morgan Berryman, Thomas Leggett, and Sophie Doran combined to win both the Mixed 200m Medley Relay and Mixed 200m Freestyle Relay. The quartet won the medley relay in 1:45.61 ahead of Limerick (1:48.11) and Ards (1:49.80); Larne then went on to win the freestyle relay in 1:38.03, while silver went to Ards (1:38.42) and bronze to Limerick (1:40.25).

Serbia confirmed as host for the 2024 European Aquatics Championships

37th edition of the competition due to take place between 10-23 June

European Aquatics is pleased to announce that the next edition of the European Aquatics Championships will take place in Belgrade, Serbia, on 10-23 June 2024.

The flagship event will feature artistic swimming, diving, open water and pool swimming during 14 days of competition.

It is scheduled with the intention of providing athletes from across the continent with the perfect opportunity to further their preparations for the Olympic Games.

For some it will serve as a final major chance to achieve qualification targets for Paris 2024, whilst it shall also present other competitors with key development opportunities.

The sport disciplines will take place in the following order:

10-13 June Open Water Swimming

10-14 June Artistic Swimming

17-23 June Swimming and Diving

The swimming competition extends until the 23 June, which is precisely the end of the qualification period for the Olympic Games in Paris.

European Aquatics is also delighted to reveal that masters athletes will have the opportunity to compete in the same venues following the conclusion of the elite championships. Those events are due to take place between 25 June and 5 July 2024 for all disciplines including Water Polo.

 

President Antonio Silva said:

“On behalf of European Aquatics, we are delighted to announce that the European Aquatics Championships will take place next year from 10-23 of June, prior to the Olympic Games. With the geopolitical challenges Europe is currently facing, it has been a real challenge to find a new home after the postponement of the event in the original host city of Kazan. I would like to extend my sincere appreciation to the Serbian Swimming Association, led by President Boris Drobac, and the Serbian Government for its outstanding commitment and support, as well as to colleagues from the European Aquatics Bureau and Office who have worked tirelessly to ensure that this major championships could take its place on the 2024 Calendar.”

 

1st Vice President Josip Varvodic said:

Thank you Serbia, on behalf of European aquatics and myself, for appreciating the importance of this event and taking on the task of organizing a European Aquatics Championships with just six months’ preparation time.

I have to specially mention my bureau colleague Vanja Udovicic, one of the best waterpolo players of his era, who recognized the importance of this event for European Aquatics and gave his unconditional support.

Having won gold medals in waterpolo at the last two Olympic Games, Serbia has a deep appreciation for aquatic sports, as well as top athletes, and we can look forward to seeing them compete at the upcoming European Aquatic Championships on home ground.

It remains for me to invite everyone to join us from 10 June until 5 July in Serbia, a country that loves and values sport, to enjoy a month full of thrilling aquatic competition.

Swiss Aquatics Diving selektioniert seine Athletinnen für die WM in Doha

Die Selektionskommission von Swiss Aquatics Diving hat für die Weltmeisterschaften in Doha im Februar 2024 insgesamt acht Athlet:innen selektioniert, je vier fürs Kunstspringen und High Diving. Im Kunstspringen wird die Schweiz durch Michelle Heimberg, Madeline Coquoz, Jonathan Suckow und Guillaume Dutoit vertreten, deren Hauptziel die Qualifikation für die Olympischen Spiele in Paris sein wird. Im High Diving werden Morgane Herculano, Matthias Appenzeller, Jean-David Duval und der WM-Debütant Pierrick Schafer an den Start gehen.

Am letzten Wochenende fand in der Vaudoise aréna in Lausanne der Winter Cup 2023 mit Wettkämpfen von ein oder drei Metern sowie vom Turm statt. Dies war der letzte Qualifikationswettkampf für die Schweizer Wasserspringer:innen für die Weltmeisterschaften in Doha im Februar. Nach diesem Wettkampf haben nun vier Springer:innen die Selektionskriterien erfüllt und dürfen im Februar an die WM reisen, um ihr grosses Ziel, die Qualifikation für die Spiele in Paris, zu verwirklichen.

Durch ihre herausragenden Leistungen auf höchstem Niveau und konstante Ergebnisse konnte sich Michelle Heimberg ohne Konkurrenz frühzeitig ihr Ticket nach Doha sichern. Ihr Ziel ist nun, sich für ihre zweite Teilnahme an den Olympischen Spielen zu qualifizieren.

Madeline Coquoz hat sich mit einer kämpferischen Leistung in letzter Minute einen Platz im Team für Doha erkämpft. Nach der Schulterverletzung, die sie sich an der WM in Fukuoka zugezogen und sie zur frühzeitigen Rückreise gezwungen hatte, schaffte sie es rechtzeitig wieder zu ihrer alten Form zurückzufinden. Mit individuellen Voraussetzungen, die auf eine erfolgreiche Selektion und gute sportliche Leistungen abgestimmt waren, konnte sie überzeugen und sich die Teilnahme sichern.

Guillaume Dutoit fand nach einer geplanten Genesungspause seiner langwierigen Rückenbeschwerden zu seiner herausragenden Form zurück. Dies bestätigte er erfolgreich mit dreifacher Erfüllung der Limite im Selektionszeitraum für Doha.

Jonathan Suckow bereitete sich nach seinem USA-Aufenthalt in kurzer Zeit auf die Herausforderungen der erfolgreichen Selektion vor. Bei den Winter-Cup-Wettbewerben konnte er auch im Kunstspringen der Herren vom 3m-Brett seine Leistung erfolgreich unter Beweis stellen und erreichte die geforderte Mindestpunktzahl für eine Selektion. Gemeinsam mit seinem Synchronpartner Guillaume Dutoit konnte er sich im Synchronspringen der Herren vom 3m-Brett bereits beim internationalen Wettbewerb in Madrid qualifizieren.

Im High Diving wird die Selektion anhand der Analyse der eingereichten Sprünge getroffen und nicht wie vom 1- oder 3m-Brett anhand einer geforderten Mindestpunktzahl an einem der definierten Wettkämpfe. Nach Prüfung der Sprünge bestätigte die Kommission die Selektion von Morgane Herculano, Matthias Appenzeller und Jean-David Duval, die bereits im Juli an der WM in Fukuoka dabei waren. Daneben schaffte es auch Pierrick Schafer den Ausschuss von seinem Können zu überzeugen und darf ebenfalls nach Doha zu seinem ersten Grossanlass auf dieser Stufe reisen.
