Sports feat stopped
The swimmer of the impossible released from the water to a jet of Monaco!
Leaving Corsica on Monday, the Morgian Noam Yaron was on the verge of completing his 180 -kilometer XXL bet. At the end of strength, he was forced to put an end to the challenge, as a security measure.
After a start in cannonball and three days at an exceptional pace, Noam Yaron began to know big difficulties from Thursday that he thought was the last. He was out of the water by his team Friday a few kilometers from Monaco.

- After his abandonment of 2024 after a hundred kilometers, the Morgian Noam Yaron could not overcome his new attempt between Calvi and Monaco.
- While the world record for the longest crossing on continuous swimming in the sea or in the ocean, in combination, reached out to him, a message from his team announced on Friday its exit from the water.
- According to the rare elements provided by his relatives, the athlete was taken care of by a doctor, without anyone knowing more at this stage.
- Olympic medalist of Tokyo games, the Geneva swimmer Jérémy Desplanches evokes the colossal physical and mental feat, despite this improbable epilogue.
A feat, revenge and a world record for swimming. This is what it was planned to celebrate on the terrace of a Monegasque hotel on Friday, after 180 kilometers of swimming between Calvi and Monaco, produced by Morgian swimmer Noam Yaron.
But to everyone’s surprise, the dream turned into a nightmare at the age of 4 p.m., when a message as brief as they are worrying about his team came across our phone screen: “Noam came out of the water. He breathes, he speaks, he is taken care of by doctors. We will give more news on Saturday. “
This is an outcome that we did not expect, even if we started to perceive signs of feverishness after sixty hours and 130 kilometers made in cannonball. In apparently become difficult conditions and opposite currents, everyone seems to have gone back on the night of Wednesday to Thursday, even if the adventurer announced his arrival for the end of the day.
It was from there that the messages began to speak of “several episodes of critical hallucinations and disorientation”, while each time delaying the arrival schedule each time at noon on the beach of the Meridien Beach Plaza, where many of its supporters have waited in order to carry it in triumph.
First alarm signals
Less voluble than usual in particular due to fatigue and a language subject to the test by sea salt, the adventurer nevertheless left a last video message on Friday morning by reaffirming his faith in the success of the objective. Visibly marked – we would be unless -, but with the conviction that characterizes it.
Then … nothing before these few lines having the value of abandonment so close to the goal, which however does not erase the 175 kilometers traveled, a major feat which ends in fish tail. Finally, the sea he intended to protect through this challenge will have been very cruel with him. “This crossing is the most effective way I have found to attract the attention of all audiences (citizens, businesses and politicians) to the pollution of an environment that is said to be protected, but which is not in fact,” he had hammered for months.
Environmental defenderdismayed by the plastic layers that accumulate in the waters of the globe, Noam Yaron hoped to gain even more legitimacy to become a voice carrier in favor of this cause. “My first claim is to demand the limitation of the speed of the boats which circulate in these areas and which go far too fast. This has the consequence of colliding with the cetaceans who do not have time to change course. For the rest, the protection of biodiversity should go without saying, but The question of plastic remains central and the fight essential. “

United team at his side
In the immediate future, it is above all a question of ensuring the good health of the Morgian, surrounded by his team which has followed him for more than two years in this adventure, after other records stoned in the past. To see if it will be approved, at the nearest 5 kilometers.
Two boats were notably permanently by his side while his main constraint was never to get out of the water during his attempt. “The team remained on alert with their eyes riveted on him to ensure his safety, cheer him up or calm him during phases of hallucinations and disorientation,” said the communication cell.
A colossal feat anyway
On a purely sporting level, these 175 kilometers are to be considered as an exceptional accomplishment, while most humans are struggling to cross a 25 -meter municipal pool. Olympic medalist in Tokyo in 2021, The Geneva swimmer Jérémy DESPLANCHES followed Noam Yaron’s challenge with an informed eye. “It’s inhuman, I don’t see how to qualify this performance differently. For me, you have to be carried by a dimension of which he alone is aware to measure himself in such an effort. There is an exceptional conviction and state of mind, because the distance is colossal. ”
Man of multiple exploits including an Olympic medal, the swimmer Jérémy Desplanches testifies to his admiration for the phenomenal feat of his colleague Noam Yaron.
