ASU's Léon Marchand shatters 400 IM record at 2023 NCAA Championships 

It's easy to recognize Léon, he's the guy with a bathing cap, glasses and who swims against the direction of others 😂😂

Every length looked flawless. What an amazing swim. This guy is going to be an Olympic super star!

How he can keep 12.5m underwater in EVERY turn is what sets him apart from the flock. So smooth

Truly incredible. I’m speechless… One of the craziest performances I’ve ever watched.

Bravo Leon, t’es un champion !!!

Going out 21.84 on the first 50 is wild

Rowdy - You asked me earlier if he can go 3:28 I said no way. Ask me again Commentator - Can he go 3:28? Rowdy - YES!!

We don't know what to say... he's on another planet, incredible!

Au dessus du lot et au dessus de l’eau ! Bravo Léon !

Bob bowman has to be the greatest coach of all time. And it isn’t even close

Ses coulées sont fantastiques !!! Du début à la fin

Vive la France !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

INSANE🔥🔥

Dear God That was stunning! I love watching this kid swim.

que de travail pour arriver à cela ! Bravo à vous !

il est grand, très grand

Unreal

I wonder whether Léon is at his peak or not and if not what could be the gap on the watch between his already current insane performances and what could come next !!!

GOAT

tout simplement phénoménal

I wonder if he’ll take down Phelps’s LCM world record at this years Worlds or next years Olympics

How do you kick that far out on the free in the 400IM??

I love Rowdy's commentary

Félicitations

🐐

bravo Léon rendez vous à Paris on sera derrière toi !

Holy fuck

…from Arizona??? Arizona State!!! 🔱

Fork'em Frenchie

Is the pool for this event always this short? I can't remember seeing an Olympic event where the pool is such a short length...

❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It's a national record or international ?

",,,Arizona State student-athlete Léon Marchand..." They can't just say he's French...

That pool is so tiny it's ridiculous.

thats crazy that its 2023 and we are still watching 720p video

How is that even legal

Was that a twenty yard pool? Or did my eyes deceive me?

25m pool is a joke to these guys

France will blast everything in the next Olympics

Short pool? 25 meter

I doubt he is even tapered.

Not to brag but I got a 4:19 😎

Pool so short do they have a separate record for 50 meter pools?

WTF

🐸 The Frog 🎉🎉 🇨🇵

Numbers don't lie : US women will still do ok at the World and Olympics (though the Aussies and Canadians will give them a hard time) but the men will struggle. Just look at the NCAA 100 fly for example : 7 out of the 8 finalists were foreigners (including the top 5) ! And Marchand wasn't even in the race. And remember the best Freestyle swimmer in the world isn't even here. By the end of the Paris Olympics, Popovici could own the WRs in the 50, 100, 200 and 400m (if he decides to swim it). And don't forget the Brit's Armada either, with a least 7 men who will contend for Gold or Silver... Fortunately, Ryan Murphy and Bobby Finke are still top dogs. And regarding Caleb, who knows ...

He needs to get rid of Phelps' long course 400 record. For years it's been sickening to hear the nonsense that it's the best men's record. Lochte's 1:54 is a lot more problematic but I think he can eventually get that also

I'm not going to lie watching people swim has got to be the most boring thing ever. Love swimming. Hate watching it. Plus this looks like a 25 meter pool, the swimmers are underwater half the lap, then 3 or 4 strokes and turn for another 12 or 13 meters underwater...

Did he get drug tested after this race? Everyone is acting like this is normal 😂
