Frenchwoman Cyrielle Duhamel took sixth place in the 400m medley final on Sunday on the last day of the World Swimming Championships in Doha.

With a time of 4 min 41 sec 95/100, Duhamel finished more than four seconds behind the winner, the British Freya Colbert. “Sixth in the Worlds is good. “It bodes well for the future,” she said.

“I didn’t really know where I stood with the girls, it was weird. It was a bit scattered in all directions but it was a very interesting race.” “We have things to work on for the future…” continued the 24-year-old swimmer. “I’m not super happy with the time but you have to remember that it’s February.”
