General
FROM OPEN WATER TO THE POOL
At the 2019 World Championships in Gwangju, Republic of Korea, he finished 10th in the men's 10km open water event and a week later he won bronze in the pool in the 800m freestyle. "Two years ago I watched the world championships on TV. I never thought that one day I would be swimming at this level. My first world championship final [800m] and first medal. It's unbelievable. Normally, the pool swimmers come and try the open water. For me it was the opposite, I first had good results in open water and now I have started improving in the pool. [But] I have always dreamt of becoming an Olympic champion in 10km." (ouest-france.fr, 25 Jul 2019)

ADMIRATION FOR COACH
He has a special admiration for coach Philippe Lucas, with whom he has worked in both Narbonne and Montpellier in France. "Philippe is an incredible coach, I love him. He has such a personality, such a mentality. He's a guy who prefers more training than competition and I am a little bit like him. I love to break my times at training. Without him I wouldn't have achieved all my results. He's someone who always motivates you." (midilibre.fr, 16 Apr 2019)
