This year's event is expected to be the biggest ever.
What Leon Marchand, a 21-year-old French swimmer, did Thursday could only be characterized as Phelpsian. It so happens that his Arizona State coach, Bob Bowman, also coached Michael Phelps, owner of a record 23 Olympic gold medals.
There are seven French media representatives here reporting on Marchand, who is regarded as the world’s top swimmer and the host nation’s best hope for Olympic glory. He won five individual golds at the 2023 and 2022 World Championships. On Wednesday night, he led off Arizona State’s 4x200 freestyle relay in 1:28.97 to break the NCAA record . That came shortly after Hobson set an American record of 1:29.13, which was an NCAA record for a few minutes.
Texas’ Will Modglin, a freshman from Zionsville, was 29th in prelims and did not make the cut to 16. His 1:43.29 was off his Big 12-winning time of 1:41.01, which would have qualified No. 5.
