Jérémy Desplanches
Swimming
European champion in 2018. Silver medalist at the 2019 World Championships and 2021 European Championships. Bronze medalist at the Olympics in 2021. Since Jérémy Desplanches swapped his birthplace Geneva for the south of France in 2014, he's been on an upward trajectory. He chose to move to the Côte d'Azur so that he could see how he measured up against the best in the world in training – even if it was hard. It paid off.
