World Aquatics confirmed this Wednesday the qualification of Tunisian swimmer Ahmed Jaouadi for the 10km marathon in addition to the 400m, 800m and 1500m NL.
The open water qualification system for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games permits swimmers qualified in the 800m or 1500m NL to also partake in the 10km marathon.
To date, only our double Olympic champion 2008-2012 Oussama Mellouli has managed to participate in the 10km in the 2012, 2016 and 2020+1 editions.
In Paris, there will be 33 swimmers from 24 nations who will aim to obtain gold in the 10 km.
