Léon Marchand vs. the Clock: A Record-Breaking Showdown in Singapore

In a thrilling showdown at the swimming world championships in Singapore, France's Léon Marchand is on the brink of breaking his own world record in the 200-meter individual medley. Having set a new benchmark just a day prior, Marchand continues to dominate the pool.

Meanwhile, Canadian star Summer McIntosh hunts for her third gold, competing fiercely alongside notable rivals Elizabeth Dekkers of Australia and American Regan Smith in the 200 freestyle. The young Chinese prodigy Yu Zidi, only 12, is a promising finalist, hoping to land on the podium.

America's prospects are bolstered with top qualifiers in several events, despite battling a recent team illness. The men's 100 freestyle features top contenders Jack Alexy from the U.S. and Romania's David Popovici, already victorious in the 200 free. The day culminates with the highly anticipated women's 4x200-meter freestyle relay.
