Marchand vs Lasco 😎
2 young super natural talents who peak at the same time when it matters.
Perfect tapering for both guys.
I never thought Léon would drop 2 seconds off his PB made at conference championships.
I never thought he would be so strong in yards.
I never thought a few months ago that such a skinny young man who made an olympic final would become a swimming superstar.
He could win the 200 IM, the 400 IM, the 200 breast, the 200 free and the 200 fly this week. Replace 200 breast with 200 back and you have a MP-like swimming schedule. That’s crazy.
And now let’s be honest. He’s on… Read more »
It is mind blowing that his legs were still able to stay underwater for that long at the end of a 200IM
I might be living under a rock but the other commentator does a pretty decent job. Whoever that is
first time watching him swim and by far the biggest takeaway is just that he torches the competition on the underwaters. He’s staying under way longer than everyone else on freestyle in particular.
I’ve watched Marchand’s back->breast turn like 4 times and am not sure how its legal. Like, I trust the officials and I am sure it was, but wow. His body motion appears just like he is doing a backstroke flipturn
Leon, The Professional.
Carson Foster is the 2019 World Champion lol
And Dressel is many things, but the king of the IM?
I was thinking the same! But in fairness to CD, he swam that on a partial taper. However, at 1.37.6, it would still have been close (and Leon a freshman to boot!)
King of the IM that never swam a fully tapered 200IM
Florida men didn’t have anyone in the 50 free A final but still managed to win the 200 free relay. Impressive for the gators
