Before returning to competition, Léon Marchand returned to his hometown of Toulouse, in Haute-Garonne. He trained at his historic swimming club in September. From now on, the swimmer shines in his city.
Already this summer, we felt that something strange was happening in Toulouse (Haute-Garonne), the city of rugby. “There is Antoine Dupont, and now there is Léon Marchand”said a man. The swimmer now shines in his city. Young rugby enthusiasts have been following Léon Marchand on social networks since the Olympic Games (OG). The champion was invited to the bar “Chez Tonton” just after the Olympics. It was the owner of the bar, Françoise Pujo, who had the idea. Since then, she has been under the spell.
You have to go around the pool where the swimmer trains to find his groupies. Some of these young people qualified for the French championships, very motivated by the performances of the Olympic swimmer. For his return to competition during the World Cup in Shanghai (China), the director of the TOEC Natation club in Toulouse, Michel Coloma, is confident. The news from China is good. Léon Marchand trained here in September, just before leaving for Shanghai. This young champion has already won gold in the Pink City, his hometown, ready to shine once again with his new star.
