“The honest advice is: go for it. Sometimes in life, you can't wait for the right moment, so you have to make that moment happen. You can't take it so seriously, as if your life depends on it. That is how you want to take it in training, but you have to know the downsides of it as well. Sometimes that is the sacrifice you make; it is not always going to go your way.”
— Ilia Malinin's advice for athletes on his Twitch stream today.

Léon Marchand parle de sa préparation physique intense au micro de L’Équipe.
Le nageur toulousain participera pour la première fois de sa carrière aux Championnats d'Europe de natation à Saint-Denis du 31 juillet au 16 août 2026. Entre-temps, il s'est tenu à une préparation rigoureuse depuis les États-Unis.
“Depuis des mois, il n'y a aucune distraction, aucun écart en termes de nourriture, de sommeil, de routine. Je n'ai pas loupé un seul entraînement. Forcément, mon corps a changé. J'ai plus de puissance qu'avant.”
