Laure Manaudou Comeback Meet Starts Tomorrow


 This week Laure Manaudou will be competing in her first competition since returning to the sport.   Competing at the world's longest event name '2011 Speedo Champions Series Eastern Section of the Southern Zone', the French Olympic champion is down the swim the 50m Free (entry time 28.00), 100m Free (59.00), 200m Free (2:08.00), 100m Back (1:04.50) and 200m Back (2:22.00).

UPDATE: Manaudou swam a new personal best time of 25.93 in this morning's 50 Free heats. Nice start to the comeback!

UPDATE 2: Manaudou has just set her second best time of the day with a 25.84 in the 50 Free final. What a comeback, and on Bastille Day!

UPDATE 3: This comeback meets keeps getting better and better for the Frenchwoman. In this morning's prelims she swims 2:01.99. Qualifies 2nd for tonight's final. 100 Back prelim up next. I consider that 200 Free swim even more impressive than the 50 Free PB she set last night. The French 4 x 200 Free team just got their 4th member back!

UPDATE 4: Another prelim swim, another great time. This time Manaudou swims 1:01.90 in the 100 Back. Would have placed her 2nd in this year's French Championship. Well inside the Top 100 in the world this year. http://yfrog.com/kfx2uhxj

    If that photo is of her, I have to say that her feet are huge.

    Good luck to her with the comeback!

    So all the reports were true; she is concentrating on shorter distances for her second swimming career. It's a natural for her, being together with Bousquet and training with Brett Hawke at Auburn

    That is a such a good time considering that its her first competitive 200 Free in such a long time. That swim alone bumps France up the list of contenders in the 4 x 200 Free relay next year.

    Muffat, Manaudou, Balmy and Etienne is quite a team... then add in a youngster like Charlotte Bonnet coming through and you have a solid medal contender.

    2nd place in the 100 back with a time of 1.01.12 so now she is 1st in the french ranking this year. i think her time is the 25 or 26th performances in the world ranking this year.
