“The Pride of France” Léon Marchand (FRA), 22, won his second and third gold medals in a row in Paris in front of his home fans.

Marchand won the men’s 200-meter butterfly in an Olympic record time of 1 minute, 51.21 seconds on Monday (Aug. 1) at the La Défense swimming pool in Paris, France.

It was the second gold medal of the Games for Marchand, who won the men’s 400-meter individual medley in 4:02.95, breaking Michael “The Emperor” Phelps’ (USA) Olympic record of 4:03.84.

In the 200-meter butterfly final, Marchand was second to Krisztóf Milák (HUN) through 150 meters, but he was the first to touch the touchpad as he swam the final 50 meters in 28.97 seconds.

The defending champion was second in 1:51.75. Milak’s final 50 meters was clocked at 30.23.

By allowing Marchand to come from behind, Milak saw her Olympic record (1:51.25) drop to the ‘old record’.

Ilya Harun (CAN) finished third in 1:52.80.

The third gold came about an hour later.

Marchand also took first place in the men’s 200-meter breaststroke in an Olympic record time of 2:05.85.

In this event, Marchand also pushed Jack Stubblett-Cook (AUS), the previous Olympic record holder (2:06.38), into second place. Stubblett-Cook clocked 2:06.79 on the day.

In the women’s 100-meter freestyle, Sarah Sjöström (SWE) won in 52.16.

She beat Tori Huske (USA), who is nine years younger than her, by 0.13 seconds. Huske clocked 52.29.

Third place went to Siobhan He Hei (HONG Kong), who touched the touchpad in 52.33 seconds.

Sjöström set the world record in this event in 2017 (51.71). His record has yet to be broken.

After winning gold in the women’s 100-meter butterfly, silver in the 200-meter freestyle and bronze in the 100-meter freestyle in Rio de Janeiro in 2016 and silver in the 50-meter freestyle in Tokyo in 2021, Sjöström increased her Olympic medal tally to five (two gold, two silver and one bronze) in Paris.

She also became the first Swede to win Olympic gold in the women’s 100-meter freestyle.

“Living Legend” Katie Ludecky (USA) won the women’s 1,500-meter freestyle in an Olympic record time of 15:30.02.

Second place went to Anastasia Kirpichnikova (FRA) in 15:40.35.

The women’s 1,500-meter freestyle became an official event at Tokyo, and the first-time winner’s time of 15:35.35 was recognized as the “Olympic record” until Paris.

Rudecki won her second consecutive Olympic title in the event, surpassing her own Olympic record.

At the same time, he increased his Olympic gold medal tally to eight and his overall medal tally to 12 (eight gold, three silver, one bronze). 토토사이트
