\t\t\t\t\t2026 LAUSANNE SWIM CUP<\/p>\n
The third and final day of the 2026 Lausanne Cup wrapped up at the Vaudoise Ar\u00e9na with additional impressive performances seen on both the men\u2019s and women\u2019s sides.<\/p>\n
26-year-old\u00a0Mary-Sophie Harvey<\/a> of Canada completed her campaign with a victory right off the bat in tonight\u2019s women\u2019s 100m butterfly final.<\/p>\n Harvey stopped the clock at a solid 58.21 to lead a trio of sub-minute swimmers, joined by France\u2019s\u00a0Marie Wattel<\/a> and Italy\u2019s\u00a0Anita Gastaldi<\/a>.<\/p>\n Wattel touched in 58.26 and Gastaldi rounded out the podium in 58.94.<\/p>\n Versatile Harvey\u2019s lifetime best in this sprint remains at the 57.31 notched nearly two years ago to rank as the 6th-swiftest Canadian woman in history.<\/p>\n The men\u2019s 100m fly final saw World Championships multi-gold medalist\u00a0Maxime Grousset<\/a> of France get it done for gold, producing a time of 51.15.<\/p>\n That held the advantage over Olympic medalist\u00a0Noe Ponti<\/a> of the host nation who settled for silver less than half a second back in 51.47. Frenchman Clement Secchi<\/a> reaped bronze in 52.25.<\/p>\n Grousset already won the men\u2019s 50m fly last night, with his outing of 22.78 establishing a new season-best and world-leading effort. His time in this longer event was just off the 50.95 he logged at January\u2019s Pro Swim to rank 4th in the world at the moment.<\/p>\n Pauline Mahieu<\/a> of France proved too quick to catch in the women\u2019s 50m back, posting a gold medal-worthy result of 27.90, tying her 3rd best-ever performance.<\/p>\n She kept the field at bay tonight in the only time under the 28-second barrier, with Poland\u2019s\u00a0Adela Piskorska<\/a> next to the wall in 28.42 followed by French swimmer\u00a0Lou-Anne Guiton<\/a> who hit 28.71 as the bronze medallist.<\/p>\n The reigning 100m back world record holder and Olympic gold medalist Thomas Ceccon<\/a> of Italy secured the top spot in the 50m back for the men, delivering a swift in-season performance of 24.95.<\/p>\n That narrowly defeated Belgium\u2019s\u00a0Noah Verreth<\/a> who turned in a time of 24.98 to put a new national record on the books. Verreth just became the first-ever man from his nation to go sub-25 seconds in this event, overtaking the 25.20 Stan Franckx<\/a> established in 2024.<\/p>\n Bronze tonight went to Israel\u2019s\u00a0Tomer Shuster<\/a> who touched in 25.00.<\/p>\n Ceccon and Verreth\u2019s swims render the competitors just outside the list of top 10 athletes in the world this season.<\/p>\n Finally, Americans\u00a0Patrick Sammon<\/a> and\u00a0Grant House<\/a> doubled up on their 1-2 finish in the 200m free last night with the same results this evening in the 100m free.<\/p>\n The Arizona State training partners, whose group also includes Wattel, earned gold and silver with Sammon clocking a speedy 47.90 followed by House\u2019s performance of 48.49. GBR\u2019s\u00a0Balint Ashton<\/a>\u00a0rounded out the podium in 49.61.<\/p>\n Sammon opened in 22.80 and closed in 25.10 en route to posting the 5th-fastest time of his career, one which boasts a lifetime best of 47.47 from the 2025 U.S. Championships. He now takes over slot #5 in the season\u2019s world rankings and is the #3 American with\u00a0Chris Giuliano\u00a0Jack Alexy<\/a> ahead of him. Giuliano hit 47.38 earlier this month as the top man and Alexy turned in a time of 47.40 last December to rank 3rd in the world at the moment.<\/p>\n 2Kim Additional Notes<\/p>\n Italy\u2019s\u00a0Tommaso Griffante<\/a> grabbed the men\u2019s 1500m freestyle gold in a mark of 15:14.30. That held off Frenchmen\u00a0Emile Vincent and\u00a0Damien Joly<\/a>, with the former touching in 15:19.54 to the latter\u2019s 15:26.09.

\nLisa Angiolini<\/a> doubled up on her 100m breaststroke victory from last night with a win in the 100m distance. The 30-year-old Italian veteran stopped the clock at 2:23.90 in essentially the one-woman race, with countrymate Anna Pirovano<\/a> next to the wall in 2:27.44. Swiss swimmer\u00a0Kay-Lyn Loehr rounded out the podium in 2:27.85.
\nThe men\u2019s 200m breast saw Turkish athlete\u00a0Kerem Ilyem<\/a> claim the gold ahead of Dutch Olympic medalist\u00a0Caspar Corbeau<\/a>. Ilyem produced a mark of 2:10.21 and Corbeau was right behind in 2:10.44. Swiss swimmer\u00a0Antoine Viquerat<\/a> also landed on the podium, hitting 2:13.21 for bronze.
\nWattel was back in the water to contest the women\u2019s 100m free, where the Olympian found success in 54.17. Belgium\u2019s\u00a0Florine Gaspard<\/a> registered 54.40 and Sweden\u2019s Sofia Astedt<\/a> notched 54.99 to place 3rd overall.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2026 LAUSANNE SWIM CUP The third and final day of the 2026 Lausanne Cup wrapped up at the…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":63932,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[34923,34924,34925,27338,34926,19161,34927,34928,34929,19162,32898,34930,34931,19525,94,19526,34932,19164,19166,19167,19527,19336,19337,19528,34933,19530,19338,34934,34935],"class_list":{"0":"post-63931","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-lausanne","8":"tag-adela-piskorska","9":"tag-anita-gastaldi","10":"tag-anna-pirovano","11":"tag-antoine-viquerat","12":"tag-balint-ashton","13":"tag-caspar-corbeau","14":"tag-clement-secchi","15":"tag-damien-joly","16":"tag-emile-vincent","17":"tag-florine-gaspard","18":"tag-grant-house","19":"tag-jack-alexy","20":"tag-kay-lyn-loehr","21":"tag-kerem-ilyem","22":"tag-lausanne","23":"tag-lisa-angiolini","24":"tag-lou-anne-guiton","25":"tag-marie-wattel","26":"tag-mary-sophie-harvey","27":"tag-maxime-grousset","28":"tag-noah-verreth","29":"tag-noe-ponti","30":"tag-patrick-sammon","31":"tag-pauline-mahieu","32":"tag-sofia-astedt","33":"tag-stan-franckx","34":"tag-thomas-ceccon","35":"tag-tomer-shuster","36":"tag-tommaso-griffante"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"","error":"Validation failed: Text character limit of 500 exceeded"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63931","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=63931"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63931\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/63932"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=63931"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=63931"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=63931"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
