PARIS: Yannick Agnel could in any case fit the bill for the Olympics after the 200 meters free-form champion passed up a great opportunity taking after a conceivable touchpad screw up on Wednesday, the French swimming league (FFN) said on Friday.
Agnel was ruled to have completed third at the French titles, which served as the Olympic trials, after he neglected to touch the cushion effectively in the last.
Just the initial two finishers could meet all requirements for the Rio Games and Jeremy Stravius won the race in front of Jordan Pothain.
Stravius is just about ensured a spot in spite of missing the FFN's characteristic of 1:46.06 yet his time 1:46.18 ought to be sufficient for the league to incorporate him in the preparatory determination it will divulge on Wednesday.
Pothain is unrealistic to be incorporated. Agnel thought he had completed second in Montpellier yet the occasion's jury dismisses his allure since it is not permitted to sit in front of the TV footage. The FFN, notwithstanding, is trusting he will have the capacity to guard his title.
"We will attempt to discover something for him to post a decent time. We need to do it," FFN specialized chief Jacques Favre told L'Equipe on Friday.
As indicated by the FFN regulations, Agnel could in any case partake in the 200 meters free-form in the event that he beats Pothain — and the time his partner timed on Wednesday — before the Olympics. One rivalry where Agnel could do it is at the May 16-22 European titles in London, where he won the Olympic gold decoration four years back.
