A good result two months before the Games for Charlotte Bonnet. During the Renens meet in Switzerland this Saturday, close to her new training location, the Frenchwoman improved her French record in the 100m breaststroke to 1’07″30. She has held France’s best time at this distance since March 2023, where she bettered the time set by Sophie De Ronchi Turban in 2011 with a time of 1’07″76 and then bettered it in June 2023 (1’07″ 54) . .
On the same day, Charlotte Bonnet took part in the 200m medley, completing it in a time of 2’11″49, a distance in which she became European vice-champion in the short course in 2023. “A good start to the weekend,” she commented on social media at the time. This Sunday morning she won the 200m breaststroke with a time of 2’29″95, a far cry from her benchmark time (02’25″21 in 2023).
New coach since February.
This is Charlotte Bonnet’s first competition since she changed her training location. “On February 20, on social networks, the French woman, bronze medalist of the London 2012 Games in the 4×200 m freestyle relay, announced that she was leaving her coach at the end of 2021, Philippe Lucas. She wants to find her husband Jeremy. Desplanche is also a high-level swimmer.
“With age and experience, I know what I need today,” she wrote on Instagram. Being happy and fulfilled in life as an athlete and a woman is the most important thing for me. Thus, joining my husband in Geneva became obvious and I am convinced that I am making the right decision. “She assured that she remained on “very good terms” with the famous French coach. She is currently training with Clément Bailly in Geneva.
