SK84 Marie Wattel

Marie Wattel roars onto the podcast this week after her recent success at the 2021 FNN Golden Tour in Marseille. Marie won the 100m Freestyle and 100m Butterfly to qualify for the Tokyo Olympics this summer.

Competing for France, she trains at Loughborough University in England, a move she made in 2016 after deciding she needed a change in her training following her performance at the Rio Olympics.

We chat about her decision to move to England, French trials and how she adapted to training in France over lockdown. Marie also gives an insight into her next steps after graduation and the differences between her training in France and England (including no more 200m Flys)!

As she matures as an athlete, watch how Marie Wattel improves her training styles and tackles spaghetti arm freestyle. One thing is for sure, Marie Wattel finds solutions. Enjoy!
