<em>Bonjour Yannick,</em>
<em>Your results in Kamloops were better than the Canadian Records. Are you a Permanent Resident of Canada?</em>
I have lived in Montreal for the past four years and I am waiting to get my Canadian citizenship.
<em>In future World Championships, after your citizenship comes through, will you be competing for Canada or for France?</em>
As soon as I have my Canadian citizenship, I will compete for Canada. I would like to compete at the Canadian Masters Championships in Toronto in July. Currently, I take part in meets with my club St Jean Olympique, which is based on the south bank in Montreal. Last year, I took part in the European Championships in Italy.
I am not sure if the record for Canada has been beaten because I am still French.
