Thank you for posting these. I actually prefer the camera angle and overall footage to the ESPN video, especially how you got the crowd's gasp at the 100 split. Makes you feel like you're actually at the meet.
If back used to be a "weakness" for Marchand, this race and the 400 IM showed that it no longer is. While breast is his best stroke -- and his 27.66 split was 0.88 seconds faster than the next fastest (28.54) -- his back split of 22.98 was 1.28 seconds faster than the next fastest (24.26). Granted, he spends 60% under water, but still...
@@EricAngle super surprised lochtes IM still stands, who would've thought it would last longer than phelps'. Leon could've won 2breat, hope he swims it in Paris
@@sethaldrich6902 Yeah, I wish Marchand could've swum the 200 breast at worlds. I don't see any reason he wouldn't have at least broken the existing WR, if not won the event. In Paris the only conflict Marchand has is 200 breast and 200 fly. I hope he swims 200 breast. Lochte's 1:54.00 is really something. We were spoiled with all those 1:54s by Phelps and Lochte.
This man is in a league of his own
400 will be nuts
I love the crowd at the 100!! Awseome!
I did not expect that speed coming out.. crazy to watch

Glad you like them!
Slow last 50 by his standards this is a crazy swim. Conservatively predicting a 3:29 low for the 4
BRO HE WENT 3:28
Insane
Léon c'est le meilleur!
He has the lung capacity of Godzilla
Does Godzilla even breathe air? I thought he was feeding on nuclear power
leon does too though yeah?
@@Kyle_Maas3 The first hybrid energy human
His margin of winning was like an 11-12 age group race, not the most elite college swimmers in the country.
the backstroke / breast legs are completely insane

He proved he can swim meters with his world record 400m IM
@@sethaldrich6902 Absolutely.

@@EricAngle I agree we knew it was special but didn't know just how special. I really hope he swims it as well.
Why did I think it was a 400 I.M. 🤦♂️
Wait so when did the back to breast total flip without a touch become legal?
chat gpt answered my question: yes, the rule was changed like 8 years ago and yes it agrees this is a time advantage of possibly up to 1 second.
@@Easterly888 well not "no touch", they do touch the wall
They are cracking down on this lately, probably should've been a dq
This is scary.
Lethal underwaters and breastroke
bro gotta be a science experiment
Is this yards?
same question
Yes
blud has no weak stroke
