“The swim went really well. I wanted to take the time to have fun and enjoy every moment. I believe that the pleasure I felt is well reflected in the rating I received. I started practicing this routine in March, I was ready,” said Lamothe, moments after the final.
“I first chose Hungarian Dance No. 5 because I liked it and I saw a beautiful choreography under this framework. It was even better since it’s music about Hungary and the World Championships are taking place in Budapest. »

With two solo finals at her world debut, Audrey Lamothe says she is extremely proud of the work accomplished. She who will also participate in the acrobatic routine on Thursday.
“I never want to set myself a result goal, I prefer to focus on what I control. My execution was great on all of my individual routines and that’s what I was hoping to be able to do. I’m happy with what I achieved, especially today (Wednesday) since it was the last time I did this routine,” explained Lamothe.
Qualifications for the acrobatic routine, a team event, will take place on Thursday while the final will be held on Saturday.
