Like a fish in chlorine. French swimming star Léon Marchand unsurprisingly dominated the 400-yard medley at the NCAA university finals on Friday in Indianapolis, United States. After having already shone on Thursday with a victory and a university record in the 500-yard freestyle, the 21-year-old Frenchman immediately dominated his favorite discipline. Marchand completed the 400 yards (366 meters) medley in 3 minutes 32 seconds and 12 hundredths, however far from his own university record (3’28”82) established last year.
Not content with this victory, Marchand immediately came back to lead his team in the 4×50 yard medley relay and lead Arizona State to success. All in an atmosphere worthy of a football match in Argentina, in front of the kop of supporters of the Sun Devils a merger.
“At the top of my best memories”
“The relay was great! I had never experienced this before. We often came second, and there we had a great opportunity. The weather is good but it doesn’t matter, we just wanted to win so it’s cool. It’s a shared pleasure, there were four of us and we did it together, said Frenchy. We work together every day, they’re my best friends, it’s been great. Definitely at the top of my best memories. »
To complete this harvest, the Toulouse rocket must still compete in the 200 yards breaststroke on Friday. Arizona State University, for which he competes, is at the top of the provisional rankings and is more than ever aiming for its first NCAA title. After that, it will be time to think about the Paris Olympics where, once again, the kid is the big favorite in several disciplines.
