Swimming-Marchand marches on for fourth gold in Paris pool

04-08-2024 12:43 PM


Ammon News - Leon Marchand fulfilled what French fans may regard as destiny as he swept to a fourth gold medal at his home Paris Games with another dominant victory in the men's 200 metres Individual Medley on Friday.

Roared on by a delirious crowd at La Defense Arena, Marchand took down Michael Phelps's Olympic record from Beijing 2008 with a blistering swim of one minute 54.06 seconds, 0.06 seconds short of Ryan Lochte's world record.

"It was my last individual final so I said to myself, I really have to enjoy it," Marchand told reporters.

"I had a lot more energy than yesterday so I felt better, more relaxed.

"And I really wanted to have fun in my last final and it happened, so it was huge."
