The first time I ever spoke with @coach_bowman was on a zoom call before broadcasting an ASU swim meet. I asked him about the difference between coaching @leon_marchand.

Bowman said: “I see a lot of similarities between Lèon and Michael.”

Now we all see the similarities. https://t.co/6dv8uqz2zH

Some people say Leon Marchand is the "new Michael Phelps".

I don't know about that... But it's gonna be fun to watch this kid swim at home in the next Olympics!#FINABudapest2022

Leon Marchand, 20-year-old Frenchman coached by Bob Bowman, was 1.11 seconds under Michael Phelps' world record pace through 300 meters of the 400m IM. Finished .44 off it, but Phelps' last individual world record, and the last one overall left from 2008 Olympics, is in danger. pic.twitter.com/1M5ZSdqzrJ

For a moment Leon Marchand was on track to hit the better Michael Phelps' WR in the 400 IM. What a swim!
4.04.28 - Incredible!
Carson Foster takes silver in 4.06.56
