Leon Marchand is hoping a scaled-back schedule will give him a shot at taking out Ryan Lochte’s long-standing world record in the 200 meters individual medley when the world championships begin in Singapore on Sunday. The Frenchman was the standout performer in the pool at last year’s Olympics, winning the 200 meters and 400 meters individual medley plus the 200 meters butterfly and 200 meters breaststroke in Paris, but will be swimming a reduced program over the coming eight days of competition. Marchand will not participate in the butterfly or breaststroke events, leaving the 23-year-old better rested to potentially break Lochte’s 14-year-old record. “I think this is a transition year for me so I wanted to have a lighter schedule than usual,” Marchand told the media on Saturday. “I wanted to focus on the 200 IM and the 400 IM and the relays with the French team. “I’m really excited to do less than usual, just to see how far can I go, how fast can I go in the 200 IM. “I’ve always done the 200 IM as a race before, the same as the rest, so it’ll be fun (to have) a lighter schedule. “I’m just not used to starting on the Wednesday instead of the first day, which is good because I can finally cheer for my teammates.” Marchand won gold in the 200 meters and 400 meters IM events at the 2022 and 2023 world championships and is the current world record holder in the longer of the medley events. Lochte’s world record in the 200 meters individual medley has stood since July 2011, with Marchand swimming just six-hundredths of a second slower than the American’s 1 minute 54.00 second mark when he won Olympic gold last year. “I’m excited for the Worlds.

Graham-Hansen is one of many dribblers who have lit up the Women’s Euros with her skillsSunday’s final will be the most high-pressure game of the tournamentOBERENTFELDEN, Switzerland: With Lauren James of England and Aitana Bonmati of Spain set to clash in Sunday’s Women’s Euro final, the match will showcase two of the modern game’s premier creative dribblers vying for one of football’s biggest prizes.Both sides boast a host of players who are more than comfortable with the ball at their feet and capable of bringing the crowd to theirs every time they take on an opponent, as well as defenders ready to stop them.“You have to try to read the situation — what’s the right thing to do? Can you go at two (players) or should you pass the ball? We just have to analyze where the space is and what’s possible,” Caroline Graham-Hansen, a teammate of Bonmati’s at Barcelona, told Reuters.“Just believe in yourself. Like, if you have two (players marking you), somebody else has more space, so just try to exploit that advantage or disadvantage that they try to give you,” she added.Graham-Hansen is one of many dribblers who have lit up the Women’s Euros with her skills which she discovered and sharpened while playing with friends as a child.“I just enjoyed dribbling.
BRUSSELS: Laurent Mekies didn’t get long to settle in as Red Bull team principal on his first Formula 1 race weekend leading his new team. There was just one practice session for the Belgian Grand Prix on Friday before Red Bull and Mekies get straight into competitive action with qualifying for Saturday’s sprint race. The hectic schedule is an extra challenge as Mekies takes over from Christian Horner, who had led the team since it entered F1 20 years ago until he was abruptly fired just over two weeks ago. Max Verstappen had some aerodynamic updates and was competitive for Red Bull in the sole practice session, going second fastest at .404 of a second behind standings leader Oscar Piastri of McLaren. The second McLaren of Lando Norris was third fastest, .1 further back.
