pretty solid 400 medley relay time
not bad yeah it's decent
😂
ayyy kyle
@kujiyhosu7978it’s more than decent that time almost qualifies for jnats
It’s okay
That greatest SCY record of all time
This or 50 free
@jamesfairbank8627 50 free is already nearly beaten, crooks has been within .3
@swimnerd2024 .3 is a huge margin in the 50 free
What blows my mind is that in a field of the best collegiate swimmers in 2022-23 and he is still on another level.
@zeppo4169 not only that the best IM swimmers in the world right now (Carson)
Like rowdy said the craziest thing is if it was a 7 day meet he could probably win
200im, 400im, 50/100/200 breast, 200/500 free, 100/200 back, 200 fly just crazy
There is no 50 br at the NCAAs but your point stands
1:39 through a 200 Fly-Back is so mental I can't even process it a few years later
If France could put together competitive relays like the US this guy could win 8 golds
I think it will be the case after 2026, since very young talents are coming in backstroke and fly, generationnal talents like Leon tend to bring lower talents higher than expected. Bousquet is already a menace in free. The problem in France is currently women's team for the mixed relays.
marchand is HIM
Breaking 4:00 doesn’t seem too out of reach when you break down the splits: fly 54 low-mid, back 1:01.0, breast 1:07.0, free 57.anything is a 3:59. Scary. All Phelps was missing was the breaststroke and this guy has arguably the best breaststroke in the world
Marchand is gonna be the first man to break 4:00 in the 400 IM
Fly: 47.10 -- 0.9 seconds faster than the next fastest (Gonzalez, 48.00)
Back: 52.20 -- 1.14 seconds faster than the next fastest (Kos, 53.34)
Breast: 58.59 -- 1.88 seconds faster than the next fastest (Louser, 1:00.47)
Free: 50.93 -- only one swimmer was faster, by 0.21 seconds (Gonzalez, 50.72)
How does this not have 1 mil views already 😩😂
Leon is the real deal
incroyable mdr c’est une des meilleures courses de tous les temps
C'est du très très haut niveau Léon ! on a même aperçu les amydales de Bob Bowman tellement la joie et l'exaltation. Bravo Champion 👏👏👏👏👏
non, c'est vraiment super
Will we see a sub 4 LCM this summer????
a sub 4.03 is reasonably in his reach
Sub 4 lcm is crazy bro but i wish
I definitely think it's possible. Given that Marchand has over a year to train for the olympics, that will be over two years since the world championships, from his 4:04.28. He is fully capable of dropping at least a half second to break MP's world record. I believe he'll have potential to go at least a 4:02, maybe even 4:00. Sub 4:00 would be unreal, and we're all aware the training in LCM is an entirely different ballpark, but given what we're seeing from him already, he'll most likely blow everyone's predictions away.
@lucasadonohue agreed
I think his Olympic swims in Paris will be very special. I will say yes!
Phelps' last long course WR will be destroyed this year...
Your prediction was correct.
Yes @EricAngle
How does NCAA championship meet have the worst quality videos in 2023!
Yep, 720p :(
Ngl bru gone be wayyyy faster than michael phelps 💯dude fr on his way to being a freak! Great swim g
ASU baby!!!!
Bob Bowman has developed the coaching and program at ASU to an extraordinary level. Proof is the extreme progress Leon and others have made in IM. Remember there is a large pro group with a number of Olympic medalists also training at ASU. And the pros spend at least part of their time interacting and swimming with the undergrad team. Where else can a freshman swimmer come and swim with and get advice from an Olympic gold medalist?
Rowdy's comment about how he may back off the last 100 because of the relay is one of the dumbest things he's said
i mean he did do it in 2024...
marchand’s underwaters are incredible
This guy is unreal. I would institute a new rule. No glides off walls past seven yards and butterfly kick only in butterfly.
why would you do that 😭
Numbers don't lie : US women will still do ok at the World and Olympics (though the Aussies and Canadians will give them a hard time) but the men will struggle. Just look at the NCAA 100 fly : 7 out of the 8 finalists were foreigner (including the top 5) ! And Marchand wasn't even in the race. And remember the best Freestyle swimmer in the world isn't even here. By the end of the Paris Olympics, Popovici could own the WRs in the 50, 100, 200 and 400m. And don't forget the Brit's Armada either, with a least 7 men who will contend for Gold or Silver...
Could the US dynasty be finally over?!
@Chicken-lx9dy its in the cards apparently , specially with Dressel not being fully back yet
You are delusional if you think popovici can compete in 50m. Popovici is a 200m specialist.
These worlds in men will be a Marchand show. That's it!
Gains painful to listen to
