Maxime Grousset claimed the men's 50m butterfly on Monday to furnish France with its first gold medal at the 2025 world swimming championships in Singapore and smash his own fastest time over the distance. The 26-year-old finished in 22.48 seconds. Noé Ponti from Switzerland was second and Italy's Thomas Ceccon took bronze. On Sunday, Grousset won his semi-final in 22.61 seconds to set a French record. "I knew it was going to be tough race," Grousset told France TV. "But I believed that I could do it until the very end. I stuck to what I had worked on. "At the 25-metre mark, I saw that Noé was ahead of me and I said to myself: 'Stay as you are, stay tall'. The last stroke was the one that mattered. It was a fabulous race." The victory gave Grousset his second gold at a world championships. Two years ago in Fukuoka in Japan, he won the 100m butterfly. But he was only able to finish fifth over the distance at the 2024 Olympics in Paris. Grousset will also compete at the world championships in the 50m and 100m freestyle. Elsewhere on the second day of competition, Yohann Ndoye-Brouard advanced to Tuesday's final of the men's 100m backstroke. He progressed in a time of 52.47 seconds. Marchand medley "I knew that it would be competitive," said the 24-year-old. "I did about roughly the same time last year when I finished third in the medley at the Olympics. A year later, I'm into the final with the seventh fastest time. But no-one seems to be head and shoulders above the rest so it's going to be an interesting final." Summer McIntosh from Canada won her second gold of the meeting. On Sunday, the 18-year-old took the women's 400m freestyle and on Monday she won the 200m individual medley. She completed the combination of butterfly, backstroke, breaststroke and freestyle in two minutes, 6.69 seconds. Alex Walsh from the United States was nearly two seconds behind to win the silver medal and McIntosh's compatriot, Mary-Sophie Harvey, was third. French swimmer Léon Marchand, who won four gold medals at the Paris Olympics, will compete in the 200m and 400m individual medley (IM) races. He starts his campaign in the 200m IM on Wednesday.

World Cup winner urges Juventus to sign Manchester United's Hojlund and Newcastle's Tonali
Former Serie A forward and Italian World Cup winner Luca Toni has claimed Juventus 'need to hit the gas if they want to catch up and fight for the title', with Liverpool's Federico Chiesa, Newcastle United's Sandro Tonali and Manchester United's Rasmus Hojlund names mentioned as ideal reinforcements for the Bianconeri. Speaking in a lengthy interview with the Gazzetta dello Sport, the former Juventus and Roma forward said that 'I'd try to get Tonali every day of the week. He is expensive but he transforms your midfield. If I were Juventus, I'd bring back Chiesa on loan. He's out of the project at Liverpool and I would bet on his hunger for redemption.' MANCHESTER, ENGLAND – FEBRUARY 02: Rasmus Hojlund of Manchester United in action during the Premier League match between Manchester United FC and Crystal Palace FC at Old Trafford on February 02, 2025 in Manchester, England. (Photo by) 'If Kolo Muani pursuit fails, Juventus should try for Hojlund' Juventus are also in the market for a new striker, with Serbian forward Dusan Vlahovic rumoured to be leaving the club this summer. The Bianconeri have already added Canadian attacker Jonathan David to their squad, of whom Toni was highly complimentary: 'Numbers are everything for a striker and David's are excellent. I'm curious to see if he can maintain that rhythm in Italy, where there is less space and stronger defences. It will be a good challenge for him. The quality of Yildiz will help. Keeping the Turkish talent feels like a huge signing for Juve, especially these days when it is tough for anyone to resist Premier League offers.' PHILADELPHIA, PENNSYLVANIA – JUNE 22: Kenan Yildiz #10 of Juventus FC celebrates scoring his team's third goal with Khephren Thuram #19, Randal Kolo Muani #20 and Timothy Weah #22 of Juventus FC during the FIFA Club World Cup 2025 group G match between Juventus FC and Wydad AC at Lincoln Financial Field on June 22, 2025 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. (Photo by) The Old Lady have also been linked with another loan move for PSG forward Randal Kolo Muani, who spent the second half of the 2024-25 campaign with the Bianconeri. Toni described the Frenchman as 'a European level striker who already knows Tudor, Juventus and Serie A – it makes sense to go after him again.' However, if a move for Kolo Muani falls through, Toni suggested that 'I would go for Rasmus Hojlund, maybe on loan. During his time at Atalanta, before the move to Manchester United, he gave me really good vibes. I'd go off that, not the struggles he has had in England.' Hojlund had a disappointing 2024-25 campaign with the Red Devils, scoring just four goals in 32 Premier League appearances. The Danish forward has been linked with Milan, Inter and Napoli this summer but no concrete moves have been made for the 22-year-old.
