Olympic swimming champion Laure Manaudou, of France, trained at her new Mulhouse club for the first time yesterday.

About 40 journalists attended the first session by Manaudou, one of France's best hopes for an Olympic gold medal, at the club where she will prepare for this year's Beijing Games.

At Mulhouse, Manaudou will work with Lionel Horter, the coach who led France's Roxana Maracineanu to the 200 metres backstroke world title in 1998.
