It staked for what normally is a 10-minute walk from the arena to Arche de la Defense.<\/p>\n<p>That can mean only one thing in the City of Light: <strong>Leon Marchand<\/strong> is in the pool.<\/p>\n<p>Marchand handled his business Thursday without drama in the semifinals of the men\u2019s 200 individual medley, setting the top time of 1:56.31. The semis result was the same as the 400 IM final, with <strong>Carson Foster<\/strong> second.<\/p>\n<p>Marchand was <a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/paris-olympics-day-5-leon-marchand-caps-golden-double-with-or-in-200-breast\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">coming off a legendary double<\/a>, winning gold in the men\u2019s 200 butterfly and 200 breaststroke on Wednesday night. If he can win the 200 IM, he would become just the third individual \u2013 joining <strong>Michael Phelps<\/strong> (twice), <strong>Mark Spitz<\/strong> and <strong>Kristin Otto<\/strong> \u2013 to win four individual events at the same Olympic Games.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>World record: Ryan Lochte, U.S., 1:54.00 (2011)<\/li>\n<li>Olympic record: Michael Phelps, U.S., 1:54.23 (2008)<\/li>\n<li>Tokyo Olympic champion: Wang Shun, China, 1:55.00<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>&#8220;I feel better than this morning,&#8221; Marchand said. &#8220;I will be in the center tomorrow, that was the goal. I went full gas, it wasn\u2019t easy. I\u2019ll try to recover now because I\u2019m exhausted. I have to do a big night, to eat and drink well, then it\u2019ll be good for tomorrow.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Two of the medalists form Tokyo got through to the final. Reigning gold medalist <strong>Wang Shun<\/strong> of China went 1:56.54 to finish third in the first heat and fourth overall. <strong>Duncan Scott,<\/strong> the silver medalist in Tokyo and at the Fukuoka World Championships last year, was second in the first heat of two in 1:56.49. That is good for third.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I need to stick to my own race plan tomorrow night: there\u2019s so many people in with great quality,&#8221; Scott said. &#8220;It\u2019s just been constant questions about Leon but not one thing about Carson, the current world champion, Finlay Knox, Deano won a bronze last year at worlds \u2013 the list goes on and on. The Olympic champion, Wang Shun, the quality on that field tomorrow night is pretty exceptional so it\u2019s just something to be pretty proud of and excited to get in amongst it.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Swiss swimmer <strong>Jeremy Desplanches,<\/strong> looking to build on his bronze in Tokyo and with countryman <strong>Roman Mityukov<\/strong> getting one earlier in the night in the 200 back, won\u2019t do that, finishing a distant 13th.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/olympics.com\/en\/paris-2024\/schedule\/swimming?day=27-july\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Meet Results<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/meet\/2024-olympic-games-coverage-paris\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">2024 Paris Olympics Meet Page<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.swimmingworldmagazine.com\/news\/paris-olympics-day-6-prelims-leon-marchand-eases-through-opening-round-of-200-im-looking-to-join-elite-club\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Men&#8217;s 200 individual medley prelims recap<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Foster won the first heat, opening up an edge in breaststroke and holding it on the way home to resist a charge from Scott and Wang.<\/p>\n<p>Marchand dominated the second heat, leading after butterfly, building his backstroke and accumulating a cushion for the freestyle leg. He had only <strong>Daiya Seto<\/strong> for company by that point, but he outstroked the Japanese veteran coming home. Seto finished in 1:56.59 for fifth.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Tom Dean,<\/strong> the bronze medalist in Fukuoka, was sixth in 1:56.92, ahead of <strong>Alberto Razzetti<\/strong> of Italy. <strong>Shaine Casas<\/strong> had a solid 1:57.82 but misses out in ninth. <strong>Finlay Knox<\/strong> snuck into the final finals spot in 1:57.76.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I can\u2019t wait,&#8221; Dean said. &#8220;It\u2019ll probably be one of my last races here at this Olympic Games because we\u2019ve got such strong relay teams and it\u2019ll be my last individual.
