LIVE. 2025 World Swimming Championships: Before Léon Marchand, Ndoye-Brouard takes bronze, results and schedule
The American won the second semi-final of the women's 200m freestyle at the 2025 World Swimming Championships ahead of the two Australians, O'Callaghan and Fairweather.
In the first women's 200m freestyle semi-final, Perkins won ahead of Gemmell and China's Liu.
There are exactly five races remaining today in the 2025 World Swimming Championships. The two semi-finals of the women's 200m freestyle are now taking place in Singapore.
For the 22nd time in her career, Katie Ledecky stood on the top step of the podium at a world championship and heard the American anthem after her 1500m performance at the 2025 World Swimming Championships.
"I did it! I beat Camille Lacourt's record, which I've been trying to beat for 10 years, so I thank him. I'm so happy," smiled Yohann Ndoye-Brouard, who took several seconds to speak on France Télévisions after breaking down in tears.
Yohann Ndoye-Brouard finished in 3rd position just behind Ceccon and Coetze who is the world champion in the 100m backstroke.
WHAT A HUGE COMEBACK FROM THE FRENCHMAN! In his last 50, Ndoye-Brouard climbed back from 7th place to take bronze, setting a new French record.
Today is the French delegation's last chance at a medal. Yohann Ndoye-Brouard steps up to compete in the men's 100m backstroke final at the 2025 World Swimming Championships. The Frenchman clocked the fastest time in the heats.
"It's difficult to know how I swam. I enjoyed myself, but I thought I had a lot better results. There are things to correct, and I'm sixth in the world, which is already not bad," said Pauline Mahieu.
"Eighth in the world, even though I finished last in the final. I'm still disappointed with my performance. I'm not disappointed because it's my first world final," says Mary-Ambre Moluh.
The step was too high for the two Frenchmen who took sixth and eighth place in this women's 100m backstroke final at the 2025 World Swimming Championships. McKeown won ahead of Smith with the Championship record while Berkoff completed the podium.
A first medal today? Two French women will be competing in the women's 100m backstroke final at the 2025 World Swimming Championships. Mary-Ambre Moluh and Pauline Mahieu will be trying to break the deadlock today.
An incredible scenario! Frenchman Antoine Viquerat tied for 8th in these semi-finals and will have to play a play-off to reach the final. He will face Austrian Luka Mladenovic later.
The Frenchman was the first to leave the call room to begin his 50m breaststroke semi-final.
In the first semi-final of the 50m breaststroke, Koen De Groot set the fastest time ahead of all the favorites. Smith took second place ahead of Prigoda.
After Anastasiia Kirpichnikova's fifth-place finish, another Frenchman will be competing in the Singapore pool, but this time for a spot in the final. Antoine Viquerat will be in the second half of the 50m breaststroke.
To see the four-time Olympic champion in the pool, we'll have to wait a few days because Léon Marchand has decided to skip two of the four individual races. The 200m butterfly and 200m breaststroke, which were originally scheduled for Singapore, will be out. "It's a choice we made because we're in a post-Olympic year and he's never had the opportunity to compete in the 200m medley without a race before or after the same day. He wanted to try out this isolated 200m medley and see what he was capable of," his coach explained. His program will therefore be as follows: 200m medley, 4x200m freestyle relay (subject to participation), 400m medley, and 4x100m medley (subject to participation).
The World Swimming Championships are taking place in Asia, near Singapore. There will therefore be a very large time difference with France. To watch the "morning" heats, you'll have to get up very early, around 4 a.m. However, for the finals, you can watch the events between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. approximately in France (-6 hours in Singapore).
