The 200 freestyle record was the first to go, with\u00a0<strong>Paul Biedermann<\/strong> taking full advantage of then-legal full-body polyurethane suits to swim a time of 1:42.00, and two days later,\u00a0<strong>Ryan Lochte<\/strong> swam a time of 1:54.00 for a new world record in the 200 IM.<\/p>\n<p>It would be 10 years before someone else broke a Phelps record, with both of his butterfly marks falling at the 2019 World Championships, the 200-meter mark to\u00a0<strong>Kristof Milak<\/strong> and the 100 going to fellow American\u00a0<strong>Caeleb Dressel<\/strong>. That left the 400 IM, with the mark of 4:03.84 untouched since Phelps won his first of eight gold medal at the Beijing Olympics. In fact, almost 14 years passed before anyone else swam in the 4:04-range.<\/p>\n<p>In order to break the mark, a special swimmer would require near-perfect preparation. Well, that&#8217;s what happened when France&#8217;s\u00a0<strong>Leon Marchand<\/strong> moved to Tempe, Ariz., to join the Arizona State University swimming program and train under Phelps&#8217; longtime coach,\u00a0<strong>Bob Bowman<\/strong>. After just one year in Tempe, Marchand posed the first real challenge to the record in a decade.<\/p>\n<p>In the 2022 World Championships final, Marchand trailed slightly at the halfway point, but he split 1:07.28 on breaststroke to move under world-record pace by more than a second. He was not ready to match Phelps&#8217; freestyle split, but <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/world-championships-leon-marchand-threatens-michael-phelps-world-record-en-route-to-400-im-gold\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">he came in at 4:04.28 for the second-quickest mark ever<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>The stage was set for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.omegatiming.com\/2023\/world-aquatics-championships-sw-live-results\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">the 2023 global meet<\/a> in Fukuoka, Japan, and Marchand was ready. From the start, the 21-year-old Frenchman was aggressive, going out in 54.66 on butterfly, slightly faster than Phelps&#8217; pace, and although he was just off the WR split at the halfway point, Marchand was two seconds quicker than he had been at the same point one year earlier, and he was already ahead of the field, including American <strong>Carson Foster<\/strong>, with his transcendent breaststroke to come.<\/p>\n<p>Marchand was actually slightly slower on his breaststroke than in 2022, splitting 1:07.64, but the mark was still far ahead of anyone else in the field or anyone else in history. He turned in 3:04.28, a whopping 2.77 seconds quicker than Phelps&#8217; 300-meter split of 3:07.05. Thus, the final 100 meters were a victory lap for Marchand, who skated further ahead of the field while the superimposed world-record line was not getting much closer.<\/p>\n<p>Marchand <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/flash-leon-marchand-downs-michael-phelps-400-im-world-record\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">finished in 4:02.50<\/a>, and the last Phelps record was gone, demolished by one-and-one-third seconds. Those who had followed Marchand&#8217;s preparation, including his historic NCAA season in 2023, knew that such an achievement was possible, but it was no less surreal to watch him claim his spot among history&#8217;s individual medley greats. Phelps, meanwhile, was on hand in Fukuoka, providing guest commentary on NBC Sports&#8217; presentation of the race before presenting Marchand with his much-deserved gold medal.<\/p>\n<p>Later on in the week, Marchand would add world titles in the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/world-championships-day-four-finals-leon-marchand-destroys-field-in-200-butterfly-for-second-title-of-week\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">200 butterfly<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/world-championships-day-five-finals-leon-marchand-pops-european-record-on-way-to-gold-in-200-medley\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">200 IM<\/a>, but neither could match the magnificence of shattering a Phelps record on the meet&#8217;s opening day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World Record of the Year (Male): Leon Marchand Knocks Michael Phelps From Record Books During his legendary career, 23-time Olympic gold
