- Arizona State’s Léon Marchand may not look like one of the best swimmers in the world, but that’s what he is, and he’ll be gunning for multiple gold medals - and possible world records - at the World Aquatics Championships this month.

Léon Marchand has said on several occasions that he owes a lot to Bob Bowman over the last two years, especially in correcting his shortcomings in the backstroke and freestyle, in his rather unique approach to the top level, with the NCAAS, which were a completely new form of competition for him, but also that he was trained from the start in Toulouse, France, by Nicolas Castel, who taught him everything and took him to the world junior podium and then to the Olympic final in Tokyo. And who is currently still his second coach and will be with him in Fukuoka, in conjunction with Bob Bowman.
World class? More like the best in the world!
Uhh... Summer McIntosh?
@watermanOIT what does that have to do with anything??????
@@watermanOITNot even close 🤡
@@watermanOIT nah man, Summer is good but Leon is definetly the best in the world right now.
Confirmed last we with a world record !
I will not deny that!
Thanks for the video. 👏👏😀
Miss those pools at Mona Plumber.
One word guys : good job !!
that is two words
Surprised they train in such a little pool.
Writing from France.
C'est un bassin de 25 yard, soit 22.8 m, donc oui c'est un peu plus petit qu'en France. Sinon c'est normal de s'entraîner en petit bassin, tous les nageurs alternent entre entre petit et grand bassin.
Background music too loud. Cool video though
👋👋👋
lmao paxton irl
what brand of swedish goggles is he wearing?
This guy is amazing! And I love watching him swim!
However I have concern that all these future olympic champions are training in US and represent other countries during the Olympics.
What’s your concern with it?
@@teentypist2345his concern is probably that the country their native to isn’t developing the swimmer but instead the US is
@@kalvin7486 Agnel, Gilot, Manaudou, didn't go US (for Agnel, he did, but after London, and not to long...), and they won Olympics Games, became world Champion...
@@kalvin7486dude France is one of the best country in the world in swimming....
Well he is french, so why he would represent US...
Fantastic swimmer - how come he doesn’t swim for the US national team?
maybe because he is a french citizen. In fact his father was a finalist olympic for France.
Because he isn't from the US(?
Maybe because he is French
I have no concern. I as a former nationally ranked swimmer am just lookingat it from a different perspective. We have been training athletes from other countries for years. I am just saying come olympic time! These athletes that were 100% trained in US by US will be recognized as champions from their native country. Again no issue... I love how swimming has morphed over the last 30 years! I just don't know how I feel about gold medals and world records going to a country that didn't train the athlete.

I’m sure ASU gets a lot out of having him in the squad. It’s more like a symbiotic relationship. All the world class French swimmers who joined a university in the US (from Bousquet to Marchand including Agnel and others) were already world class before joining. I really doubt your universities do it out of charity.
Even the best trainer cannot make champion someone without capabilities, character and the drive to go through the process.
He was formed in France but is actually training in the us. Just like Griezmann for exemple was formed in France but is in Spain since several years. Yet he represent France during world cup and it is normal
