After beating Phelps’ 400 metres individual medley record by almost a full second, Marchand says ‘the best is yet to come’
French youngster Leon Marchand produced a dazzling performance to shatter American great Michael Phelps’ long-standing 400 metres individual medley record on the opening day of swimming events at the World Aquatics Championships on Sunday.
“The best is yet to come,” added Marchand, who collected his medal at the victory ceremony from Phelps. Titmus eclipsed the mark of 16-year-old Canadian prodigy Summer McIntosh set at her national trials earlier this year, finishing in three minutes, 55.38 - a stunning 3.35 seconds ahead of silver medallist and 2022 champion Katie Ledecky.“I’ve put in a lot of work the past six weeks that I’ve been really happy with and took a lot away from trials,” Titmus said. “I swam the way I wanted to, but knew I had enough time to turn that around and came here tonight and tried to be fearless.
Although it was not as close a contest as fans would have liked, Titmus’s blistering effort laid down a marker for next year’s Paris Games. Short, 19, crossed the line in three minutes, 40.68 seconds to edge out Olympic champion Ahmed Hafnaoui of Tunisia by 0.02 seconds while Germany’s Lukas Martens was 1.52 seconds behind the winner to take the bronze medal.
