Léon Marchand ke 400 IM mein performance kal raat expected tha. 22 saal ka ye swimmer pehle hi world record holder, do baar world champion, aur NCAA record holder tha is event mein.
Marchand ka win kal raat home crowd ke saamne swimming ke sabse bade stage pe ek tarah ka coronation tha. Usne 4:02.95 ka time swim karke Michael Phelps ka 16 saal purana Olympic record tod diya jo Beijing mein set hua tha.
Marchand ko primarily Bob Bowman coach karte hain, jo Phelps ko 2008 mein unke legendary eight gold run mein guide kiya tha.
Lekin Marchand apni family mein pehla French Olympian nahi hai. Woh dusra bhi nahi hai. Uske dono parents, Xavier Marchand aur Céline Bonnet, ne teen Olympic games mein France ko represent kiya hai. Aur yahin khatam nahi hota – uske uncle, Christophe Marchand, ne bhi 1988 aur 1992 ke distance events mein compete kiya.
Bowman ke mutabik, yeh name recognition tha jo unhone young Léon pe chance liya.
Céline Bonnet, Marchand ki maa, ne apna Olympic debut 1992 Barcelona Games mein sirf 16 saal ki umar mein kiya. Wahan, unhone teen individual events mein compete kiya: 100 backstroke, 200 IM, aur 400 IM. Unka highest finish 200 IM mein 14th position thi.
Bonnet ne France ki 4×100 medley relay mein bhi compete kiya, jo 14th position pe finish hui.
Xavier Marchand ne do Olympic appearances ki 1996 aur 2000 mein. Jabki unhone sirf ek event, 200 IM, mein enter kiya, unhone dono Games mein final banaya. Unhone Atlanta mein 8th aur Sydney mein 7th position pe finish kiya.
Elder Marchand ne 200 IM mein Worlds medal bhi jeeta, 1998 mein 2nd position pe finish kiya 2:01.66 time ke saath. Apne career ke end mein, unka personal best 2:01.08 tha. Léon ne apne father ka best time kaafi peeche chhod diya, kyunki usne 1:54.82 time ke saath 2023 world title jeeta.
Jabki Léon shayad kabhi Phelps ke against race nahi karega, yeh ek achievement hai jo uske father ne uske upar rakha hai. 2001 World Cup ke Stockholm stop pe, usne Phelps ko short course meters 200 IM mein lagbhag ek second se hara diya tha.
Xavier Marchand aur Céline Bonnet kabhi NCAA mein compete nahi kiye, jahan Léon ne Arizona State ke saath teen saalon ka unprecedented success enjoy kiya. Halanki, Xavier ne apne career ke end mein Auburn mein training ki thi jab unhone apne third Olympic berth ka chase kiya tha.
Léon Marchand ke is meet mein teen aur individual events hain: 200 breaststroke, 200 butterfly, aur 200 IM. Uska gold ka raasta 400 IM ke comparison mein utna clear cut nahi hai, kyunki usse breaststroke aur butterfly ke reigning world record holders ke against compete karna padega, lekin kal raat jo form usne dikhayi usse lagta hai ki woh aur medals jeetne ke liye ready hai.
Léon Marchand ka ek chhota bhai bhi hai, Oscar, jo unke local swim club Toulouse ke liye compete karta hai.
