Day three of the 2023 French Short Course Championships saw Charlotte Bonnet fire off a new national record en route to gold tonight in the women’s 200m breaststroke.
28-year-old Bonnet put up a time of 2:20.64 to beat the field by nearly 2 seconds.
Behind her was Lucie Vasquez who secured silver in 2:22.84 while European Junior Championships medalist Justine Delmas rounded out the top 3 in 2:23.86. Delmas’ result represented a new Age Record for 18-year-olds.
As for Bonnet, the Olympian opened in 1:07.35 and brought it home in 1:13.29 to post the fastest time of her career. Entering these championships, her personal best rested at the 2:21.34 she established at the 2022 edition of his competition. That former PB also represented the previous national recording this event.
A minimum time standard of 2:22.49 was needed to qualify for the 2023 European Short Course Championships in December, so Bonnet cleared that QT with ease.
Bonnet already scored the 200m IM victory on night one of these championships and followed that up with gold in the 200m freestyle on day two.
