Léon Marchand, the rising star of French swimming, is making waves at the Paris 2024 Olympics.

At just 22 years old, he has already secured a gold medal in the 400m individual medley, setting a new Olympic record.

Marchand is now aiming for an unprecedented double in the 200m butterfly and 200m breaststroke, a feat never attempted by a French swimmer before.

His unique underwater technique, which allows him to glide efficiently, has become his signature move, impressing even legends like Michael Phelps.

As he prepares for two finals on July 31, all eyes are on Marchand, who is determined to add to his growing medal tally, currently standing at nine, including eight golds.

With the support of his coach Bob Bowman, a former mentor to Phelps, Marchand is ready to take on the challenge and potentially surpass the American's legendary achievements.
