In the wake of her beautiful 6th place in the final of the 100m freestyle, the Frenchwoman easily passed the obstacle of the series of the 50 this Saturday morning in Singapore.
Beryl Gastaldello (6th time of the 50m freestyle series in 24”53, qualified): “I felt really good. At the start, I think I can be more explosive on the stud. Behind, I accelerated well but my touch is not terrible. You have to see what I can correct for tonight, starting by pushing stronger to get a better time, and why not a small French record, which would be very cool. I am in good arrangements. It will be very tight to invite yourself in the final, it will probably be necessary to do 24”3 (…) My goal is to improve me with each race. Until now, this has been the case on these Worlds and I have to continue on this beautiful momentum. It is not for nothing that I have a tattoo in the back that says, in Italian: which goes slowly, surely goes and goes for a long time. ”
Pigrated analia (17th time of the 50m freestyle series in 24”93, reservist): “It is not a bad time, even if I find myself a first reservist, which is a little hard because if you do not know if you are going to swim or not. I have to expect everything. But it’s one of my best times in the morning, I’m quite happy. Especially since there was no one in the two corridors around me (due to two packages), so I had no one to hang up and I did not know if I was going quickly or not. But it is the game. And the fact of having done only from the back so far, to the warm -up, it was a bit complicated. But it was fun to do crawl in international, which I had never done. ”
