Leon Marchand backed up his 200-metre individual medley world title earlier in the meet with an impressive swim from lane 1 in the final to win the 400-metre individual medley. He comfortably won the final in 4:04.73, almost 4 seconds clear of second placed Tomoyuki Matsushita in 4:08.32. Ilia Borodin representing Neutral Athletes B won the bronze medal in 4:09.16. With Marchand clearly demonstrating that he is only getting faster and improving as he continues his career, it might not be so impossible that he could break 4 minutes in the 400 individual medley. His current World Record stands at 4:02.50 so it will be a tough ask but it certainly isn’t impossible for this young superstar.
