The 22-year-old swimmer from Toulouse has struck a chord with the French people with a string of exploits. Whether in Paris, Lyon or his hometown, everyone is enthusiastic about Léon Marchand.

The Club France, packed to the brim, was in melting form on Wednesday, July 31, to follow the exploits of Léon Marchand. The Toulouse swimmer who collected two new gold medals in less than two hours sent his supporters into a frenzy, who loudly celebrated his titles.

An interrupted final

But the world record holder in the 400m medley was also celebrated at the Grand Palais during the team sabre final. So much so that the match had to be interrupted while the French fans calmed down.

The same thing happened in Bourgoin-Jallieu, in the Pierre-Rajon stadium which hosted the friendly match between Olympique Lyonnais and the Italians from Torino. But also in Tououse, the hometown of Léon Marchand.

The footballers conquered

Finally The French football team, which is preparing for its quarter-final of the Olympic Games against Argentina, did not miss a crumb of the swimmer's exploits. Perhaps a source of motivation for the Bleuets.
