Three swimmers shone during the national long course championship in Ampefiloha which ended on Saturday. Three national records and eight best performances were recorded.
First conclusive test. Three Madagascar records and eight best performances were recorded during the four days of the Madagascar 50-meter pool swimming championships.
The national summit took place from May 1 to 4 at the swimming pool of the National Sports Academy in Ampefiloha. French expatriate Eliot Rakotondramanga, aged 21, who plays at the Villejuif swimming club in the Paris region, was the only record holder in the championship. In addition to the national titles, he signed three new Madagascar records. With a Malagasy father and mother, Eliot participated for the first time in the Madagascar championship after obtaining his Malagasy nationality. The swimmer from Saint-Michel opened the counter on the first day of May 1 by setting the first record in the 50m backstroke in 27.27.
The old time was the work of Mickael Herinaivo Rasolonjatovo of Saint-Michel, 27.50 carried out in 2020. Eliot updated another on May 2. He once again improved Mickael Rasolonjatovo’s old time in the 100m backstroke of 57.93 against 59.35 which dates from 2020. And on May 3, Eliot shattered the old record in the 100m freestyle of the expatriate Erick Rajhonson achieved in 2009, 0:54.27 compared to 0:54.18.

“Now that I have Malagasy nationality, my ambition is to take part in the Malagasy championships (…) Otherwise, my ambition is to participate in the African championships which should be held in Madagascar next year, and I would like to make a title at home,” says Eliot Rakotondramanga. This national summit was also marked by the feat of the youngster, Sampaniaina Glorio Precious Koty. This East Coast Swimming Club (CNCE) swimmer has bettered five best performances in the 10 to 11 year old category. Glorio achieved three MPs on the second day, in this case in 200m medley (2:54.25), 100m backstroke (1:22.66) and 400m freestyle (5:28.79).
From the first day, the young Tamatavian swimmer updated the MP in 200m freestyle (2:33.15) and signed the new MP in 100m freestyle, 1:11.00. The swimmer from the Sainte Jeanne d’Arc du Boeny Tendry club Tiavina Rakotobe achieved a hat-trick by updating three MPs in the 14-15 year old category, including in the 50m freestyle on Saturday (25:11). Friday Tendry Tiavina achieved another in the 50m butterfly (0:27.33).
He achieved his first best performance in the 50m breaststroke (0:32.63) on the second day of May 2. The swimmers were able to express themselves better on the second and third days because it was colder on the first and fourth days.

Adrian Newey reveals the reason for his goodbye from Red Bull; he explains his future
Adrian Newey revealed the main reason for his goodbye to Red Bull in the first quarter of 2025. The British engineer alluded to the film Forrest Gump to exemplify how you feel right now.

“Formula 1 consumes everything. I’ve been at this for a long time. There comes a time when, as he said Forrest Gump, I feel a little tired. If I’m honest, I’ve been thinking about it for a while. I guess, over the winter, and then as events have unfolded this year. “I am lucky to not have to work to live,” he explained to Sky Sports.
Adrian Newey Having played a major role in 13 drivers’ World Championships and a dozen Constructors’ titles for the energy drink brand, he is free to join another team when he leaves Red Bull, but he explains his future.
“I work because I like it, and I thought it was a good time to take a step back, take a break and take stock of my life. Maybe at some point, I don’t know when, I’ll be in the shower and I’ll say, ‘Okay, this is going to be the next adventure.’ But right now there is no plan”, he continued.
It remains to be seen what effect Newey’s departure from Red Bull will have on Dutch driver Max Verstappen, current three-time world champion. “At the moment, my future is within Red Bull,” Verstappen indicated on Thursday, with a contract until 2028.
Newey’s departure from Red Bull comes after team principal Christian Horner was accused of “inappropriate behavior” by a female employee. Red Bull’s parent company GmbH exonerated him on the eve of last month’s Bahrain Grand Prix and has always denied the allegations.
NEWEY FLATTERED THAT HAMILTON WANTS HIM IN FERRARI
Adrian Newey admitted that he feels “flattered” that the British Lewis Hamilton has requested his signing with Ferrari.
Hamilton, who will race for Ferrari next season, said before this weekend’s Miami Grand Prix that he would like Newey to make the switch as well.
“It’s very nice of Lewis to say that, and I’m very flattered. But at the moment I just want to take a bit of a break and see what happens next,” the Briton said.
