Le Voyage De Léon Marchand Avec La Bouée De Bowman
A Feature On The Marchand Medley Melody: What looks for a moment like a rigid, spear-like projectile softens, flexes, feels and curves to the way of the water, hip, ankle, toe, wrist, hand, roll, all working in harmony with the element that can either help you or hinder you
The alchemy of process to gold having begun with his first Olympic medal and victory in the 400m medley, Léon Marchand has a "day off" today before a possible return to the fray for France in the 4x200m freestyle tomorrow before Wednesday brings us double day.
The 200m butterfly and 200m breaststroke line up precisely, heats, semis and finals of the events all in their respective matching session.
No matter, the march of Marchand has a conductor well versed in multi-mission stanzas on the hymn sheet of Olympic excellence. The Phelpsian symphony of 23 golds atop 28 medals at four Games is Bob Bowman's mentoring masterpiece, perhaps never to be repeated in our lifetimes.
How did the Franco-American partnership come about and where is it headed?
