\t\t\t\t\t2026 LAUSANNE SWIM CUP<\/p>\n
Day two of the prestigious Lausanne Swim Cup unfolded with multiple conveyers of talent making their presence known at this in-season affair.<\/p>\n
Former University of Texas Longhorn and Olympic medalist\u00a0Caspar Corbeau<\/a> was among them, doubling up on his 50m breaststroke victory from day one with a gold in the 100m sprint.<\/p>\n Corbeau stopped the clock at 1:00.07 in tonight\u2019s final to hold a healthy advantage over the next-closest swimmer Antoine Viquerat<\/a> of France.<\/p>\n Viquerat touched in 1:00.83 as the runner-up while teammate Carl Aitkaci<\/a> rounded out the podium in 1:01.10.<\/p>\n 24-year-old Corbeau was actually quicker this morning, turning in a heats swim of 59.89 (27.96\/31.93) to rank among the top 20 performers thus far this season. His best-ever remains at the speedy 59.03 logged at last year\u2019s World Championships.<\/p>\n World Championships multi-gold medalist\u00a0Maxime Grousset<\/a> of France tried the 50m fly on for size where he found success in a dominant effort of 22.78.<\/p>\n That represented the sole outing of the pack to clear the 23-second barrier, as Olympic medalist\u00a0Noe Ponti<\/a> of the host nation was relegated to the silver medal position in 23.07.<\/p>\n But Ponti wasn\u2019t alone, as\u00a0Thomas Ceccon<\/a> of Italy, the reigning 100m backstroke world record holder and Olympic champion, touched simultaneously in 23.07 to share runner-up honors.<\/p>\n 26-year-old Grousset entered this competition already ranked #1 in the world in the men\u2019s 50m fly due to his 22.80 punched at January\u2019s Pro Swim Series in Austin. Therefore, tonight\u2019s faster performance further solidifies him as the man to beat at the moment.<\/p>\n 2Maxime Finally, on the men\u2019s side, a pair of Americans roared to the wall to make it a 1-2 stars n\u2019 stripes finish.<\/p>\n Patrick Sammon<\/a> delivered a time of 1:47.52 to hold a healthy advantage over the rest of the field, one which included countryman Grant House<\/a>.<\/p>\n House settled for silver in 1:48.14 and\u00a0Timo Sorgius<\/a> of Germany also landed on the podium in 1:48.56, good enough for bronze.<\/p>\n As for 22-year-old Sammon, he\u2019s been as speedy as 1:46.54 in his career from last year\u2019s U.S. Summer Open Championships. Also in 2025, he helped the U.S. win gold in the mixed 4x100m free relay and bronze in the men\u2019s 4x100m free relay at the World Championships in Singapore.<\/p>\n Lisa Angiolini<\/a> of Italy proved to be a highlight on the women\u2019s side en route to her victory in the 100m breaststroke.<\/p>\n 30-year-old veteran Angiolini notched a gold medal-worthy 1:06.80 to get to the wall nearly a second ahead of her peers.<\/p>\n Belgian Florine Gaspard<\/a> scored silver in 1:07.62 and Swiss swimmer Kay-Lyn Loehr hit 1:08.28 for bronze.<\/p>\n The women\u2019s edition of the 50m fly saw\u00a0Marie Wattel<\/a> soar to the gold in a super swift result of 26.09.<\/p>\n That cleared the pack by nearly a second, with Italy\u2019s\u00a0Chiara Tarantino<\/a> nabbing silver in 27.04 followed by Swiss athlete\u00a0Angelique Brugger<\/a> who notched 27.29.<\/p>\n 28-year-old Wattel of France fell just shy of the 26.01 season-best she established at January\u2019s Pro Swim in the United States.<\/p>\n Additional Notes<\/p>\n Belgium\u2019s\u00a0Noah Verreth<\/a> produced a mark of 54.14 to reap men\u2019s 100m backstroke gold tonight. Frenchman\u00a0Jules Andre<\/a> posted 54.47 for silver and 24-year-old teammate Mewen Tomac<\/a>, the 2022 World Championships bronze medalist in the 200m back, rounded out the podium in 54.57.

\nThe women\u2019s 100m back was on the subdued side, as no swimmer dipped under the minute barrier. France\u2019s Pauline Mahieu<\/a> led the way in 1:00.21 to capture gold while Poland\u2019s\u00a0Adela Piskorska<\/a> and Hungary\u2019s\u00a0Viktoria Kokas Fanni earned the minor medals. The former snagged silver in 1:01.13 while the latter logged 1:01.88 for bronze.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"2026 LAUSANNE SWIM CUP Day two of the prestigious Lausanne Swim Cup unfolded with multiple conveyers of talent…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":64341,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[34923,35113,27338,35114,19161,35115,19162,32898,35116,34931,94,19526,19164,19167,35117,19527,19336,19337,19528,19338,27242,35118],"class_list":{"0":"post-64340","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-lausanne","8":"tag-adela-piskorska","9":"tag-angelique-brugger","10":"tag-antoine-viquerat","11":"tag-carl-aitkaci","12":"tag-caspar-corbeau","13":"tag-chiara-tarantino","14":"tag-florine-gaspard","15":"tag-grant-house","16":"tag-jules-andre","17":"tag-kay-lyn-loehr","18":"tag-lausanne","19":"tag-lisa-angiolini","20":"tag-marie-wattel","21":"tag-maxime-grousset","22":"tag-mewen-tomac","23":"tag-noah-verreth","24":"tag-noe-ponti","25":"tag-patrick-sammon","26":"tag-pauline-mahieu","27":"tag-thomas-ceccon","28":"tag-timo-sorgius","29":"tag-viktoria-kokas-fanni"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@ch\/116563728500938837","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64340","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=64340"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/64340\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/64341"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=64340"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=64340"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/ch\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=64340"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
