Paris: Leon Marchand surged to France's first Olympic swimming gold since 2012 on Sunday, obliterating the field to clock the second-fastest 400m individual medley time ever.
The 22-year-old led off strongly and never looked back, touching in 4mins 02.95secs, nearly six seconds clear of Japan's Tomoyuki Matsushita in second, with American Carson Foster third.
Marchand was heavy favourite after demolishing Michael Phelps' 15-year-old world record in a phenomenal 4:02.50 swim last year.
His performance at a raucous La Defense Arena in Paris was a new Olympic record.
