We think otherwise. After his dreamy Parisian stint, the 22-year-old refuses to let the Marchand Mania slow down. A short break later, the Olympian returned to make a splash at the 2024 World Aquatics Swimming [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/swimming/] World Cup. Sure, he encountered some minor bumps on his rise to the top. But he came out of it stronger, faster, and much better. However, he isn’t the only one. Kate Douglass and Regan Smith enjoyed their time in the French capital, but they couldn’t stay away from the pool for too long. Consistently battling for the top spot, their performances throughout the meet have been nothing short of spectacular. We’re finally on day two of the last stop in the competition—Singapore. With several elite swimmers chasing the coveted hardware, how did your favorites fare in the pool today? LÉON MARCHAND NEVER CEASES TO AMAZE THE MASSES The 22-year-old returned to the pool for the 200m IM swim, the last time he would contest in it for the World Cup. The stakes were higher than ever, but he didn’t disappoint. Léon Marchand had previously set World Cup, French and European records with 1:50.30 in Shanghai. However, today, he touched the wall in a new World Record time of 1:48.88 [https://www.worldaquatics.com/competitions/3432/world-aquatics-swimming-world-cup-2024/results?event=801ad896-8746-481b-90e9-cea886c7783d&unit=finals], bettering his personal best. This marked his second-ever world record in meters, but it is also his first on the short course. Leon Marchand [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/WhatsApp-Image-2024-08-01-at-8.39.56-AM-e1722482016673.jpeg] With this time, France’s Golden Boy had just shattered a 12-year record set of 1:49.63 set in 2012 by Ryan Lochte. He had just snagged his 3rd consecutive World Cup victory with the second-fastest time ever. The swimmer had also clinched his second Triple Crown of the World Cup. Trailing behind the Olympian was Duncan Scott, who clocked 1:51.14 for the silver medal. Alberto Razzetti completed the podium with 1:52.99 on the clock. So, how did Marchand fair on day 1 of the final stop? After previously delivering a stellar performance in the 100m IM in Shanghai and Incheon, Singapore wasn’t going to be any different. Surging past the rest of his competition, Léon Marchand touched the wall in a World Cup Record time of 49.92s [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-swimming-news-leon-marchand-unstoppable-as-french-superstar-joins-elite-swimming-list-with-yet-another-record/]. With his third World Cup title in the event, he had become the first man from his continent to dip under the 50-second barrier. He is also the 2nd man in the world to hit the 49-point time and now takes up the #2 spot on the all-time list. But hold on. The excitement and thrill were far from over. KATE DOUGLASS, REGAN SMITH AND PAN ZHANLE RAISE THE BAR HIGHER THAN EVER Kate Douglass has been incredible throughout the World Cup. In fact, she ended up being on top of the table by the end of the first leg in Shanghai. While she faltered slightly in Incheon, the swimmer reclaimed her throne as the World Cup headed to Singapore. In the 50m butterfly today, she touched the wall in 24.42s, snagging her third Triple Crown in the World Cup [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-swimming-news-battling-against-fellow-compatriot-kate-douglass-puts-regan-smith-on-notice-with-triple-crown/]. However, her incredible time now puts her in the second spot of the top women’s SCM 50 butterfly performers in the history list. On day one, she was flawless in the 200m breaststroke, finishing over six seconds ahead of her competitors and securing gold with a world record time of 2:12.72. This incredible performance surpassed her previous world record of 2:14.16 set in Incheon. But she wasn’t finished yet. Shortly after her first victory, she returned for the 100m IM, and while she didn’t set another record, the 22-year-old clinched a second gold with a time of 56.57 seconds. How did Regan Smith fare in the pool, you ask? The swimmer returned on day two for the 100m backstroke finals, and she certainly didn’t disappoint! Her blistering time of 54.27 seconds set a new world record in Singapore, shaving .14 seconds off her previous world record of 54.41 seconds from Incheon. If that isn’t exciting enough, this marks her third world record in the 100m backstroke this year, putting her at the top of the all-time rankings in the event. With this victory, she also secured her first Triple Crown in the World Cup. But what about day one? Regan Smith [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Regan-Smith-Instagram-GAC-1.jpg] The 22-year-old stunned the crowds by touching the wall in 25.48s in the 50m backstroke finals. Here’s the kicker. This happened to be her fastest performance across the 3 stops. In Shanghai, she clocked 25.70s for the silver medal. On the other hand, in Incheon, she bagged another shiny hardware with 25.71s on the clock. Yet, she fell short of .11s to shatter Gretchen Walsh’s American record of 25.97s from the NCAA dual meet. Pan Zhanle impressed the crowds in the 100m freestyle event tonight. Even though no swimmer managed to dip under the 46-second barrier, the reigning Olympic champion in the LCM version claimed an effortless victory with a time of 46.09 seconds. In the same event in Shanghai, he had secured a silver with a time of 46.35 seconds. But today, he stood atop the podium. However, day one didn’t go as well for him. While he did not miss the podium, the 20-year-old’s time of 3:38.79 was only good enough for a third-place finish— a stark contrast to his gold-medal-worthy time of 3:36.43 in Incheon. The sun may have set on day two of the World Cup, but we have one more day left to see if Léon Marchand or any of your favorites will walk away with the coveted prize. Will you be watching?

With his third World Cup title in the event, he had become the first man from his continent to dip under the 50-second barrier.

However, her incredible time now puts her in the second spot of the top women’s SCM 50 butterfly performers in the history list. </span></p><div id="scroll-4" style="margin:-1px"></div><p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">On day one, she was flawless in the 200m breaststroke, finishing over six seconds ahead of her competitors and securing gold with a world record time of 2:12.72. This incredible performance surpassed her previous world record of 2:14.16 set in Incheon. But she wasn’t finished yet. Shortly after her first victory, she returned for the 100m IM, and while she didn’t set another record, the 22-year-old clinched a second gold with a time of 56.57 seconds.</p><p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">How did Regan Smith fare in the pool, you ask? The swimmer returned on day two for the 100m backstroke finals, and she certainly didn’t disappoint! Her blistering time of 54.27 seconds set a new world record in Singapore, shaving .14 seconds off her previous world record of 54.41 seconds from Incheon. If that isn’t exciting enough, this marks her third world record in the 100m backstroke this year, putting her at the top of the all-time rankings in the event. With this victory, she also secured her first Triple Crown in the World Cup. But what about day one?</p><div class="adRealEstate_ad-space__6Nh40 ad-space"><p data-article="true">ADVERTISEMENT</p><p>Article continues below this ad</p><div data-background="true" class="adRealEstate_ad-container__3sqcw" id="ads-real-estate-uss-bf2"></div></div><div class="image-loader_es-image-loader-aspect-ratio__X6IHP " style="min-width:100%;--borderRadius:5px;padding-bottom:66.66666666666666%;position:relative;height:0"><img id="img-tag-node-img-loader-0" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Regan-Smith-Instagram-GAC-1.jpg?width=150&blur=15" fetchpriority="high" style="position:absolute;z-index:0;width:100%;height:100%" loading="eager" decoding="async"/></div><div class="adRealEstate_ad-space__6Nh40 ad-space"><p data-article="true">ADVERTISEMENT</p><p>Article continues below this ad</p><div data-background="true" class="adRealEstate_ad-container__3sqcw" id="ads-real-estate-uss-bf3"></div></div><p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">The 22-year-old stunned the crowds by touching the wall in 25.48s in the 50m backstroke finals. Here’s the kicker. This happened to be her fastest performance across the 3 stops. In Shanghai, she clocked 25.70s for the silver medal. On the other hand, in Incheon, she bagged another shiny hardware with 25.71s on the clock. Yet, she fell short of .11s to shatter Gretchen Walsh’s American record of 25.97s from the NCAA dual meet. Pan Zhanle impressed the crowds in the 100m freestyle event tonight.</p><p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Even though no swimmer managed to dip under the 46-second barrier, the reigning Olympic champion in the LCM version claimed an effortless victory with a time of 46.09 seconds. In the same event in Shanghai, he had secured a silver with a time of 46.35 seconds. But today, he stood atop the podium. However, day one didn’t go as well for him. While he did not miss the podium, the 20-year-old’s time of 3:38.79 was only good enough for a third-place finish— a stark contrast to his gold-medal-worthy time of 3:36.43 in Incheon. The sun may have set on day two of the World Cup, but we have one more day left to see if Léon Marchand or any of your favorites will walk away with the coveted prize. Will you be watching?</p><div id="scroll-6"></div></div><div class="bottom-commnet_mainCom__r2EuX"><div class="bottom-commnet_flexWrap__ICGRA"><div class="bottom-commnet_topBar__8iJSl"></div><div

The Paris Olympics 2024 mark a significant moment, as the Games return to the French capital for the first time in a century. With a legacy dating back to the 1900 and 1924 Olympics, Paris proudly continues its tradition of welcoming athletes and spectators worldwide. Renowned for its rich history, cultural vibrancy, and passion for sport, the stage of Paris is all set for an unforgettable celebration of athleticism and unity. As the curtains will very soon open for the Paris Olympics 2024, it is predicted that these games will leave an indelible mark on the hearts and minds of all. When are the Olympic Games and who all will be there? The Paris Olympics 2024 dates are scheduled from July 26 to August 11, 2024. The event will draw billions of worldwide viewers, with approximately 350,000 hours of TV broadcast coverage. Millions of spectators are anticipated to attend various events across the 41 venues in Paris. Around 10,500 athletes from all over the world will participate in various sports and events during the games. The French team is automatically qualified as the host country. But, other teams have to win the world championship, their confederation\u0026#8217;s tournament, or be among the top 17 in the Olympic Ranking List for the Paris Olympics 2024 qualification. Additionally, approximately 20,000 accredited journalists will be covering the event, providing global updates and insights to audiences. Volunteers, numbering around 31,500, will assist in various capacities to ensure the smooth running of the games. Moreover, the Athletes\u0026#8217; Village will serve over 600,000 meals daily to athletes, coaches, staff, and officials during the event. What are the major events? According to the Paris Olympics 2024 schedule, it will feature 329 medal events across 32 sports. This year, as a brand new attraction, these games will include one brand new sport: breaking. Other than these, skateboarding, sport climbing, and surfing will be back at the Olympics after debuting at the Tokyo Olympics. Here is a breakdown of each sport’s name and medal events: Aquatics Medal events: 49 (35 swimming, 2 artistic swimming, 2 marathon swimming, 8 diving, 2 water polo) Archery Medal events: 5 Athletics Medal events: 48 Badminton Medal events: 5 Basketball Medal events: 4 Boxing Medal events: 13 Breaking Medal events: 2 Canoeing Medal events: 16 (10 sprint, 6 slaloms) Cycling Medal events: 22 (12 track, 4 road, 2 BMX racing, 2 BMX freestyle, 2 mountain biking) Equestrian Medal events: 6 (2 dressage, 2 eventing, 2 jumping) Fencing Medal events: 12 Field hockey Medal events: 2 Golf Medal events: 2 Gymnastics Medal events: 18 (14 artistic gymnastics, 2 rhythmic gymnastics, 2 trampoline) Handball Medal events: 2 Judo Medal events: 15 Modern pentathlon Medal events: 2 Rowing Medal events: 14 Rugby Medal events: 2 Sailing Medal events: 10 Shooting Medal events: 15 Skateboarding Medal events: 4 Soccer Medal events: 2 Sport climbing Medal events: 4 Surfing Medal events: 2 Table tennis Medal events: 5 Taekwondo Medal events: 8 Tennis Medal events: 5 Triathlon Medal events: 3 Volleyball Medal events: 4 (2 volleyball, 2 beach volleyball) Weightlifting Medal events: 10 Wrestling Medal events: 18 (12 freestyle wrestling, 6 Greco-Roman) Where will be the major events held? The Games will shine around the capital. It will be held from Les Yvelines to Hauts-de-Seine, Seine-et-Marne, and Seine-Saint-Denis. There will be 15 Olympic venues in central Paris. Also, the marathon swimming, triathlon, and para-triathlon events will take place in the capital\u0026#8217;s Seine River. The Stade de France will be the venue for the main athletic events. Six regional cities will stage for the Paris Olympics 2024 football matches. Marseille, on the Mediterranean coast. This place will host the sailing game. And, the surfing will occur in Teahupo\u0026#8217;o, in Tahiti. This is a French overseas territory in the South Pacific. Paris Olympics 2024 brings something new! Like the previous years, the Paris Olympics in 2024 will not be an exception. The game will include a number of new elements. However, this year, the inclusion of breaking as an official sport at the Paris 2024 Olympics marks a significant moment in recognizing urban dance culture within the global sports community. Breaking, originating from the streets of the Bronx in the 1970s, has evolved into a highly skilled and respected art form, embodying athleticism, creativity, and cultural expression. However, the decision to include Breaking in the Paris 2024 Olympics underscores the evolving nature of the Olympic Games, embracing new forms of athleticism and cultural significance. As Breaking athletes, known as B-Boys and B-Girls, prepare to showcase their talent on the world stage, the event promises to captivate audiences with its dynamic energy and creativity. With La Concorde set as the backdrop for the Breaking competition, spectators can anticipate an electrifying atmosphere as competitors engage in intense 1v1 battles to the rhythm of random beats curated by a DJ. This fusion of music, movement, and competition embodies the spirit of Breaking, celebrating its roots in hip-hop culture while embracing its evolution as a recognized sport. Paris Olympics 2024 logo The Paris Olympics 2024 logo is composed of five indivisible elements. These elements also reflect our ideal actions and show who we are. However, for the first time in history, the Olympics and Paralympics will use the same emblem as logos. The Paris Olympics 2024 symbol is a combination of three separate elements: the gold medal, the flame, and Marianne (the female figure representing the French Republic). Paris Olympic 2024 Mascot The Paris 2024 Olympic mascot is named \u0026#8220;Olympic Phryg,\u0026#8221; inspired by the Phrygian cap, a symbol of freedom and revolution. It represents allegorical figures of the French Republic, embodying the values of liberty, equality, and also fraternity. The choice of the mascot reflects the spirit of the Olympic Games and the cultural significance of France. However, this year a pair named \u0026#8220;Les Phryges\u0026#8221; will represent the Olympics as mascots. What to expect from the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony The Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony promises to be unique and memorable. The opening ceremony will feature a spectacular floating parade along the Seine River. Athletes representing 200 countries will board 100 boats for a 3.7-mile journey. This parade will offer a visually stunning and symbolic start to the Olympic Games. The parade route will wind past significant landmarks in Paris, including the National Library and the Cathedral of Notre Dame. The floating parade symbolizes unity and cooperation among nations as they celebrate the Olympic spirit. After the river parade, athletes will gather in a stadium in the Trocadero park to light the Olympic Flame. Overall, the Paris 2024 Olympics opening ceremony promises to be a grand and innovative spectacle. It will be a momentous occasion that captures the world\u0026#8217;s attention and sets the stage for an unforgettable Olympic Games.

He had just snagged his 3rd consecutive World Cup victory with the second-fastest time ever. The swimmer had also clinched his second Triple Crown of the World Cup. Trailing behind the Olympian was Duncan Scott, who clocked 1:51.14 for the silver medal. Alberto Razzetti completed the podium with 1:52.99 on the clock. So, how did Marchand fair on day 1 of the final stop? After previously delivering a stellar performance in the 100m IM in Shanghai and Incheon, Singapore wasn’t going to be any different. Surging past the rest of his competition, Léon Marchand touched the wall in a World Cup Record time of 49.92s [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-swimming-news-leon-marchand-unstoppable-as-french-superstar-joins-elite-swimming-list-with-yet-another-record/]. With his third World Cup title in the event, he had become the first man from his continent to dip under the 50-second barrier. He is also the 2nd man in the world to hit the 49-point time and now takes up the #2 spot on the all-time list. But hold on. The excitement and thrill were far from over. KATE DOUGLASS, REGAN SMITH AND PAN ZHANLE RAISE THE BAR HIGHER THAN EVER Kate Douglass has been incredible throughout the World Cup. In fact, she ended up being on top of the table by the end of the first leg in Shanghai. While she faltered slightly in Incheon, the swimmer reclaimed her throne as the World Cup headed to Singapore. In the 50m butterfly today, she touched the wall in 24.42s, snagging her third Triple Crown in the World Cup [https://www.essentiallysports.com/us-sports-news-swimming-news-battling-against-fellow-compatriot-kate-douglass-puts-regan-smith-on-notice-with-triple-crown/]. However, her incredible time now puts her in the second spot of the top women’s SCM 50 butterfly performers in the history list. On day one, she was flawless in the 200m breaststroke, finishing over six seconds ahead of her competitors and securing gold with a world record time of 2:12.72. This incredible performance surpassed her previous world record of 2:14.16 set in Incheon. But she wasn’t finished yet. Shortly after her first victory, she returned for the 100m IM, and while she didn’t set another record, the 22-year-old clinched a second gold with a time of 56.57 seconds. How did Regan Smith fare in the pool, you ask? The swimmer returned on day two for the 100m backstroke finals, and she certainly didn’t disappoint! Her blistering time of 54.27 seconds set a new world record in Singapore, shaving .14 seconds off her previous world record of 54.41 seconds from Incheon. If that isn’t exciting enough, this marks her third world record in the 100m backstroke this year, putting her at the top of the all-time rankings in the event. With this victory, she also secured her first Triple Crown in the World Cup. But what about day one? Regan Smith [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Regan-Smith-Instagram-GAC-1.jpg] The 22-year-old stunned the crowds by touching the wall in 25.48s in the 50m backstroke finals. Here’s the kicker. This happened to be her fastest performance across the 3 stops. In Shanghai, she clocked 25.70s for the silver medal. On the other hand, in Incheon, she bagged another shiny hardware with 25.71s on the clock. Yet, she fell short of .11s to shatter Gretchen Walsh’s American record of 25.97s from the NCAA dual meet. Pan Zhanle impressed the crowds in the 100m freestyle event tonight. Even though no swimmer managed to dip under the 46-second barrier, the reigning Olympic champion in the LCM version claimed an effortless victory with a time of 46.09 seconds. In the same event in Shanghai, he had secured a silver with a time of 46.35 seconds. But today, he stood atop the podium. However, day one didn’t go as well for him. While he did not miss the podium, the 20-year-old’s time of 3:38.79 was only good enough for a third-place finish— a stark contrast to his gold-medal-worthy time of 3:36.43 in Incheon. The sun may have set on day two of the World Cup, but we have one more day left to see if Léon Marchand or any of your favorites will walk away with the coveted prize. Will you be watching?
