  1. How did he have the energy to kick 12,5m after every turn? That was out of this world

  2. I am always overwhelmed by what these athletes can do (hey I am impressed that Marchand can use his arms to lift himself entirely out of the pool and step up with one leg). So happy for Foster. First Olympics and bronze.

  3. Welcome to the top of the mountain, Leon.he is the new king of the 400 IM!!!
    an absolutely legendary performance in front of the home crowd and beating Phelps’ long-standing record.

  4. Marchand could have stopped and taken a break. He was that far ahead. Absolutely stellar performance.

  5. What a performance, the gap between him and the other athletes (which are still world class) is insane,
    On the last turn you almost couldn’t see them on the shot

  6. I have no doubt this would’ve smashed the world record in a not-slow pool

  7. Max Litchfield: fifth, fourth, and fourth over the last three Olympics. That must suck.

  8. It was truly crazy to see him really compete against himself and his previous wr. Hopefully he’ll be the one to break the elusive 4min barrier one day.
