When I flip at the wall doing 100 y free, I'm luck to get my underwater to the flags. This dude is going almost halfway down the pool at each turn. Insane. Must have gills.
France posseses at the same time the best swimmer on the planet with Marchand, the best footballer in the world with Mbappe, the best rugbyman worldwide with Dupont, and soon with Wemby, the next NBA MVP. Insane.
4 individual gold medals at the Olympics is something crazy, only the great Phealps and Spitz have managed it, Marchand in my opinion is the most talented swimmer in history
Michael Phelps was the WR holder or very close to the WR in the 100 free, 200 free, 100 fly, 200 fly, 100 back, 200 back, 200 IM, 400IM. Marchand is great but he’s no Phelps
I can only hope he has not peaked too soon before the Paris games. Never did I think Phelps would be surpassed but this guy is on his way with the times he delivers. Good luck Mr Marchand, you are swimming in a field of one.
The problem is that he'll never approach Phelps' gold medal total because France rarely medals in the relays. Many of Phelps' medals were from relay events and Marchand won't have 3 teammates that can consistently get him to the medal stand. Marchand will need to be dominant into his 40s to come close to Phelps' medal count.
@@jordanlee1408 You are 100% correct. In addition, you can only beat the opposition that is around you at your peak. Both Phelps and Marchand are kings in their own right.
I’m 28 and just started swimming at the community center for fun and to try something other than running. I did 500 yards in 14:11 and thought I was doing good for myself but then I found this video😅 I have a whole new respect for these guys
With a little technical training and conditioning, you can be under 8:00 in a couple months. The next 2 minutes after that will be more difficult to drop than the previous 6. Anyone who can swim a 500 under 6:00 is a pretty good swimmer. Marchand almost did it under 4:00
@jordanlee1408 honestly with my stature (I’m 5’7) so I know I’m not built for swimming so if I could ever get under 10 minutes I think I’d be happy with myself just doing that but yeah I’d like to find someone help me on my techniques and form
In France, we don't get bogged down with quotas for everything and anything. Anyone can do any sport they want, and in the end, only the best are selected! (just like our aeronautical engineers...)

@@ferencorosz9753 that didnt prevent him to smash the 400m IM record at the worlds last year,. and the current 400m freestyle is "only" 3m40, so he definitely will get in sooner than later (not sure if he's running it this summer in Paris tho)
For perspective on how hard this is, the 500 yard swim for NAVY SEALS is 9 minutes and 30 seconds and you're "elite" in that event in the navy seal test if you get sub 8:30 or so, im blown away

le passage au 400 mètres c'est très exactement à cet instant 3:36 - (le milieu de la 18ème longueur (22.86x17.5 = 400.50M) Il passe donc en un peu moins de 3.30 au 400M - En bassin de 25 mètres le record du monde ( de Yannick Agnel) est de 3.32,25

Swimmers at this level are obviously very good at what they do. But I’m sure they hate short course distance freestyle races. 25 meter pools are just a joke.
Leon really stole what would have been a super tight race from us. Honestly I would have rather fully focused on hobson and magahey duking it out till the end than watch frog boy go halfway on every turn. Don't get me wrong it's really impressive. But to me he is completely ruining yards swimming.
Listening to Rowdy have aneurisms over splits like this will always make NCAA’s my favorite time of the year
A classic Rowdygasm to be fair I was screaming at my screen as well after I saw him out in 21.0 from there
1.33 first 200 is the most ridiculous split I’ve ever seen

When the video's time duration is shorter than my personal best in 500 free...

Can we just stop and contemplate on his 400m SPLIT being 3:12.30, which is TWENTY SECONDS faster than the World Record for the 400m itself?
This is yards, so it is less distance with more underwaters, thus being faster. So no suprise there.
400 Short Course Yards equals 365.76 meters.

Marchand's 200 split (to the feet) would have won every NCAA Championship until 2008.
Not true. Matt Biondi, 1987, 1:33.03.
@@JamieParot you are right. That record held up for a long time.
@@KleinAB notwithstanding Biondi's record, that's still a crazy statistic
If he stays in the NCAA and swims the 500 again, I really do think that a sub 4:00 race could happen
Léon 🐬🐬🐬
500 free lookin more like a 250 free, 250 underwater dolphin
Let's go Leon, let's go!!!
He's going to go sub four eventually. Jesus! Amazing swim🙂
the SCM world is not ready for Marchand when he graduates.
How is that even possible?
It's obvious guys, 2025 Marchand goal :
500y free - sub 4min
100y breast - sub 49sec
200y fly - breaking Jack Conger NCAA record
He won't swim college next year, he's going pro. He only swam this season to win ASU's first title.
would love to see him swim the 400 LCM, someone needs to break that stupid super suit record already
sera t-il capable de briser 4:00
Still don't believe in aliens ?????
