At the European Swimming Championships, Mary-Ambre Moluh claimed the gold medal in the 100m backstroke, adding another achievement to the French team's performance. Pauline Mahieu also contributed to the medal count, securing a bronze in her event.

Separately, the article highlights a concerning issue at the European Athletics Championships held in Birmingham, where spectator stands have been notably sparse. This low attendance is described as an unprecedented situation, particularly in a country with a strong tradition in athletics, raising questions about the reasons behind this "fiasco."

In swimming news, French swimmer Léon Marchand is generating significant excitement. Following a powerful performance in the 4x200m freestyle relay, where he was part of a silver medal-winning team, expectations are high for his individual races. Marchand himself expressed surprise at his speed, stating, "I didn't know I could swim that fast." He is now considered a strong contender for gold in both the 200m butterfly and 400m freestyle events.
