French sports: Athletes Marchand, Ferrand-Prévot, and Quartararo in focus

French athlete Léon Marchand, the four-time Olympic champion, revealed he considered withdrawing from upcoming competitions due to an adductor injury sustained in late June. He has decided to skip the 200m and 400m individual medley events to avoid re-injury while competing in other disciplines.

In cycling, Pauline Ferrand-Prévot withdrew from the Tour de France Femmes after struggling to defend her 2025 title, citing difficult performances during the race. Meanwhile, in MotoGP, Fabio Quartararo has officially confirmed his move to Honda during the summer break.

Additionally, French swimmer Maxime Grousset is managing his schedule following a left foot fracture.
