Léon Marchand’s path to four golds began with the 400 individual medley, his best event. He grew his lead on the breaststroke leg, as the crowd roared each time he came up for a breath. He broke the Olympic record set by Michael Phelps in 2008. Race is shown at 5x speed.
In the 200 butterfly, Léon Marchand trailed at the final turn. But in the final 50 meters, he used his underwater dolphin kicks and the energy of the crowd to surge past the world-record holder, the Hungarian Kristóf Milák. Race is shown at 5x speed.
