Marchand, McIntosh triumph anew
Tempo
|August 2, 2025
Léon Marchand of France won gold in the 200-meter individual medley at the swimming world championships on Thursday — and it had a Texas flavor to it.
-
American swimmer Shaine Casas claimed the silver and Hubert Kós of Hungary took the bronze. The three - from three different countries all train with American Bob Bowman at the University of Texas at Austin.
Bowman is famous, of course, for training legendary American Michael Phelps.
Marchand, who shattered the 200 IM world record just 24 hours earlier in the semifinal, almost did it again as he finished in 1 minute, 53.68 seconds. That was just off his Wednesday mark of 1:52.69.
