He topped the field with a time of 4:18.23 for an outright spot on the Olympic swimming team at the French Championships in Dunkirk, bettering the FINA A-standard (4:18.40) by just 0.17 of a second.^[4] Swimming in heat five, Henri came from the bottom of the field to power past the Greek swimmer Romanos Alyfantis by exactly a single second for the seventh spot in 4:22.41. Henri failed to advance to the top eight final, as he placed twenty-second overall in the prelims.^[5]
