PARIS (Reuters) - Yannick Agnel could still qualify for the Olympics after the 200 metres freestyle champion missed out following a possible touchpad blunder on Wednesday, the French swimming federation (FFN) said on Friday.

Agnel was ruled to have finished third at the French championships, which served as the Olympic trials, after he failed to touch the pad correctly in the final.
