French sprint star Fred Bousquet‘s shoulder surgery has been completed, according to his Facebook, and the former world record-holder says he’s ready to get back to work.
The 32-year-old Bousquet opted for surgery to deal with ongoing shoulder problems now, over two years out from the next Olympics, in the hopes that he’ll be fully recovered well in advance of what will likely be the last Olympic push of his storied career.
Bousquet posted the above picture on his official Facebook page this morning with the caption “Ça c’est fait, maintenant au boulot!!,” which in English roughly translates to “This is done; now to get to work!”.
The French sensation, best-known as the first man under 21 in the long course 50 free and the first man under 19 short course, has said he will miss several months recovering from the surgery, including the French National Championships in April, but could be back to competition by this summer.
