The Frenchman once again dazzled the Singapore basin, this Thursday, winning, highly, the 200 m 4 swimming.
A new demonstration. In the aftermath of his impressive semi-final, during which he pulverized the world record, Léon Marchand won, this Thursday, unsurprisingly, the 200 m 4 swimming final. The Frenchman took a good start, finding himself in mind from the first length, before increasing his advance on the breaststroke. He then controlled his competitors to win his sixth world title (already!), The third on the discipline, in 1’53”68.
The Frenchman, quadruple Olympic champion, had the joy of getting on the podium in the company of his training partners at the University of Texas, the American Shaine Casas (2e) and the Hungarian Hubert Kos (3e). It was his compatriot Tony Parker who gave him the gold medal. “”It stings all the time when I give myself all the way, which is a bit of a goal (smile). Afterwards, this evening, which has changed, It was that I was in the shoulder to go with Shane (Casas, the American silver medalist) so It was a tighter race . But it was great. I liked it again“He said after the race.
