The little prince of the French river has grown up a lot. This Wednesday evening, he even became a giant. Léon Marchand won a historic double this Thursday at the Paris Olympics in the 200m butterfly and 200m breaststroke. A feat that even the legendary Michael Phelps has never accomplished. Enough to set the social network on fire.
And in the nuggets unearthed on X (formerly Twitter), Instagram and the company, old childhood videos of the 22-year-old swimmer appeared. A pleasure. We specifically see little Léon, a final year science student at the heart of a television report in his own class. “We must not give up on lessons because, for example, if I get hurt in the river, we need an emergency exit,” he said on camera.
In training, Léon Marchand was much weaker than today but already easily underwater, with the desire, always, to win. “To be successful in having good goals in the end, you have to swim,” he assured. His three Olympic titles should succeed in satisfying his thirst for victories.
The French Olympic team also went out of their way to celebrate their performance. The result is a photo published on X (formerly Twitter) of the new, very young French star. Léon Marchand, 7 or 8 years old, already wore three badges around his neck.
After fifteen years, things have not changed much. The medals have grown exponentially.
