A Start
For the 18th time, these guys, undaunted by a 12-kilometer swim, will set off today from the Pont National to swim across the entire length of the capital, amidst the immense crowd that will not hold back their cheers...
This time, the amateurs will be competing in the classic distance, and among the twenty-two registered competitors, there are some illustrious ones, like Vallerey, the Italian Bacigalupo, and the courageous Duvane, the big favorites for the event; there are also some newcomers, lacking neither quality nor ambition. The Great Crossing will once again offer us the most beautiful of popular festivals.
