🏊🏼‍♂️ Léon Marchand's first Olympic swim! Men's 400m Individual Medley - Heats | Tokyo 2020

📲 Subscribe to @olympics: oly.ch/SubscribeAQU
Arguably one of the most difficult events in the pool, the 400m Individual Medley is a true test of strength, endurance, grit and also strategy! An event never short on surprises, such as when Micheal Phelps missed the podium for the first time since in twelve years at London 2012, Tokyo 2020 was no exception.
Japan's Daiya Seto, a bronze medalist at Rio 2016 and a medal favourite on home soil, was knocked out in the heats whilst current World Record holder Léon Marchand of France made his debut in the Olympic pool but ultimately had to settle for sixth in the final won by USA's Chase Kalisz.

Leaving a comment here after he beat the 400im WR for the first of many times surely. Saying hi to the people in 10-15 years who'll watch this video as he has become a legend, if TH-cam is still a thing by then
