In the space of just a few races, Léon Marchand made his name forever in the history of French sport. The swimmer, only 22 years old, was one of the big stars of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, participating in the tricolors' great haul of medals in this competition organized at home. The man who has already thought about post-swimming with a career choice that may surprise him has brought home four gold medals and a bronze medal, which makes him the most prolific male athlete in any country. Enough to build the legend and arouse the desire of brands and women alike.
Although he is the center of all attention, Léon Marchand nonetheless remains a young sportsman who likes to live far from the cameras. However, for the show Clique last October, he made rare confidences about his love life and clearly, for the moment, he has little room to think about that. “I would say that in the last two years, it's very complicated. I don't have time for that. My days are full (…) I don't have time for leisure, I don't have no time for anything, except Sunday, but we swim even on Saturday, we have a 3-hour session, on Saturday afternoon we don't do anything, we are completely tired.he explained to Mouloud Achour.
Léon Marchand and Eileen Gu very close in Paris
Despite everything, Florent Manaudou's great friend nonetheless remains a young man of his age and during the Paris Olympics, he went to a nightclub several times. During his nights out, he was seen very close to a charming high-level athlete. On videos that quickly went viral on social networks, we can see the Toulouse resident particularly complicit with the famous Eileen Gu. The 21-year-old is a Chinese-American freestyle skier who competes for China. At just 18 years old, she became the youngest triple medalist in the history of the Winter Olympic Gamesin 2022. The two athletes therefore have some points in common since they both have several Olympic gold medals.
Since these nightclub images last August, Léon Marchand and Eileen Gu have not been seen together again and it does not seem that this affair lasted. The Frenchman therefore still seems single and very happy like that!
