To see the four-time Olympic champion in the pool, we'll have to wait a few days because Léon Marchand has decided to skip two of the four individual races.

"It's a choice we made because we're in a post-Olympic year and he's never had the opportunity to compete in the 200m medley without a race before or after the same day. He wanted to try out this isolated 200m medley and see what he was capable of," his coach explained. His program will therefore be as follows: 200m medley, 4x200m freestyle relay (subject to participation), 400m medley, and 4x100m medley (subject to participation).
The World Swimming Championships are taking place in Asia, near Singapore. There will therefore be a very large time difference with France. To watch the "morning" heats, you'll have to get up very early, around 4 a.m. However, for the finals, you can watch the events between 1 p.m. and 3 p.m. approximately in France (-6 hours in Singapore).
