Leon’s gonna have the opportunity to do something that Michael only dreamed of during his career. Swimming at the Olympics on home soil this already is something that very few get to do but the last time someone dominated at their home Olympics in swimming Ian Thorpe left the swimming world feeling different could happen again but a little bit different

Turns out having both parents being olympic swimmers is a good predictor of success… ok, I need my parents to start practicing hard and quality for these olympics! 🏆

Indeed I think he meant that it is not about to be beaten, I don't know much about swimming competition but 1sec seems like a lot, ok it is slower than running but still.

Unless at the time WR were broken at a fast pace, wait… yeah, they were.

Oh my ! Some americans are sensitive in this comment section. The accomplishement of this kid is great. And the fact that he is trained by the same coach and broke Phelps's record justifies a comparison. Of course he's far from the legend, but it's interesting to compare and to look ahead the new generation. Stop with this toxic pride, it's bad for the sport, and for Phelp's legacy. Just listen what Phelps said about this young fella.

Sport is typically where the pride is at his best! People are so proud of the others breaking records so that they can say "I'm from the same country". At the end of the day, they stay on their couch...

I really hope Marchand stays around and has a long career like Phelps. He's so talented at so many different events. This year alone I can easily see him going 2:04 in the 200 breast, 1:51 or 1:50 in the 200 fly,

Phelps also benefitted from US relays; Marchand won't be so strongly supported by his French teammates, as good as they are.

Awesome video! Unlike other youtubers, you did so e stunning thorough research. Great job, I dropped a sub

"Micheal phelp's old coach" also leon marchands current coach

Small correction: Phelps’s best time in the 500 was a 4:12, which stood as the 17-18 NAG record for ~20 years before it was broken by Luke Hobson.

great video

Cheers ALL the way with you young man !!!!! 😁

Marchand is! Phelps was. It's already erase on book for Phelps. New guy in the game.

re: 7:35, keep in mind a lot of Phelps' medals came from relays, for which he got a serious boost being on team USA. French relays are no joke, but such medals, let alone golds, will come much more slowly for Marchand.

Léon Marchand is just Léon Marchand

Léon Marchands broke the world record in the 400 meter medley. So he has nothing to do with Michael Phelps, since his level is better by far.

NO. MARCHAND IS MARCHAND AND PHELPS IS PHELPS. IT IS SO EASY.

There's only one man that can stop him, and his name is:

Olympic golds are indeed the most popular with the public (and sponsors!), but swimmers rank greatness on WR's and world championships.

It's not a comparison between the two swimmers. One swimmer is being called the version of the other for his own country.

Leon Marchand overran MP at 21 should be the title 😂

the difference is that French people dont know him very much because he made his career in the US for the most part. i think the Olympics in PARIS would change that

I dont know a single person in france who follows sports, even a little, and who haven't heard about him. Ofc he'll be even more famous after the Olympics but he's already a big name among the french sportmen talents

Is there any reason why we make competition pools so cold other than energy costs or ego satisfaction? To keep record progression more stagnant

What?? Olympics allow temp range 24-29C. Absolutely normal and definitely not "so cold".

Or that Michael Phelps was the American léon marchand ;)

He's not the French Michael Phelps he's just Léon Marchand ;)

is this AI commented? intonation is weird

halalala....si les américains savaient.....s'ils savaient qu'on leur a envoyé le moins bon de notre équipe olympique........!

I respect leon Marchand but don't compare with Michael Phelps he is only one and he is always legend

Your voice is annoying. Stop sounding like Zuckerberg

yeah, because everyone who does something good should be compared to the almighty usa.
