At the European Aquatics Championships in Paris, French swimmer Léon Marchand withdrew from several key events, including the 200m and 400m individual medley and the 200m breaststroke. This decision was made to prevent aggravating an adductor injury. ~~Team physicians indicated~~ French team doctor Sébastien Le Garrec specified that ~~while~~ the ~~injury~~ withdrawal follows a grade 2 lesion of the left pectineus muscle sustained during the French National Championships in late June. While the healing process is ~~mostly healed,~~ nearly complete, the technical demands of the breaststroke leg in medley events posed a non-negligible risk of recurrence. ~~Marchand's recovery period was estimated at two~~ Marchand described the decision as difficult but relieving regarding the mental pressure of the injury. Despite the withdrawal from the medley events, Marchand remains scheduled to ~~three weeks.~~ compete in the 200m butterfly, 400m freestyle, and various relay events, as these disciplines place less strain on his adductors. Meanwhile, Hungarian swimmer Hubert Kós entered the competition aiming for his first European title in the 200m backstroke, with plans to compete in six different events.
