Marchand smashes Phelps's record as Titmus dominates rivals

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

France's Leon Marchand smashed Michael Phelps's last remaining world record on Sunday while Australia's Ariarne Titmus blew her 400m freestyle rivals out of the water at swimming's world championships.

Marchand clocked 4min, 02.50sec to win the 400m individual medley, taking more than a second off Phelps's record.

The 21-year-old is set to be one of the faces of next year's Paris Olympics and he warned that "the best is yet to come".

"It was insane," Marchand said.

2. Wow! Just wow!

I do not follow swimming. If you'd asked me, "How many records does Michael Phelps hold?" I'd answer, "At least half a dozen."

According to the story in the OP, his last remaining record just fell, and it fell by a long margin. I realize records are made to be broken, but I thought Phelps' bests would be untouchable for many years.
