World Swimming Championships: What time and on which TV channel can you watch Léon Marchand's 200m medley semi-final?

He is more than expected. After withdrawing from the 200m butterfly and 200m breaststroke , four-time Olympic champion Léon Marchand is competing in the 200m medley this Wednesday.

While he will also be competing in the 400m individual medley, the Frenchman, who is also likely to compete in relays (the 4x100m medley, the 4x100m mixed medley and the 4x200m freestyle), has big ambitions in the 200m medley, as he admitted that he wants to beat the world record in an interview with L'Equipe.

"I want to break the 200m medley world record. I don't know if it will happen in a few days or in a few years. My curiosity is leading me to skip races beforehand to try to swim faster in the 200m medley, knowing that I was 6 hundredths off last time," explained the swimmer. His rivals have been warned.

The 200m medley semi-final scheduled for Wednesday, July 30, can be watched at around 2:29 p.m. on France 3 and Eurosport.
