– What effect did Bob Bowman make at the initially conference?
– I liked how effectively he understood me, he right away instructed me what my flaws had been and what I could improve with him. He showed that he had viewed me in advance of, he knew how to swim and what I desired.
“Let us in far too!”
– It is crystal clear that the frog is a terrific weakness of mine, he lifted it promptly, but anyone can see it. We talked about the simple fact that, especially in instruction, I skip one thing extra, which would help me explode in competitions. I informed you I desired to get on the podium at the WC, that I was making ready for a substantial time, as opposed to that I fought in vain, I couldn’t even boost my junior planet file and I only finished sixth in the 200 mix. Deep down I feel that a little something is missing. He replied that he could help me in specifically this, simply because the university championship prepares me perfectly for slicing-edge cases.
– In our aforementioned dialogue before the Environment Cup, he talked about that specified wonderful instant. In Rome, won the very long-awaited gold medal at the Europeans, but the “huge second” is still lacking. What do you think if Bowman will conjure from you what he thinks he is able of, will he be aggressive from Léon Marchand?
– I’m confident. I have felt so much in me for a very long time, in fact from past year’s European Championships, but I educate mixed like no a single else in the earth, since for three or 4 a long time there has been no one particular in my group that I can contend with, fundamentally swimming from on your own.
We tried to swim collectively with Gergelly Gyurta, Nándor Németh, Benedek Kovács and Kristóf Milák, but Nándi and Beni are now schooling elsewhere and Kristóf is an Olympic winner, his rate is unique, it is really tricky to coordinate. At property, I can’t commonly contend in combined activities, which I pass up a large amount.

“Marchand in a calendar year.” it underwent an extraordinary enhancement underneath Bowman’s management. Do you rely on the similar?
“Yup.” I observed Léon now at the Olympics very last yr, in Tokyo he was a finalist in the 400 medley, in which he swam a time of 4:09, and he was extremely, extremely tired. Then he went out to educate with Bob, and a calendar year later he obtained away with the World Cup preliminaries in the morning, and he was not even exhausted. I realized that in the closing he would crack a substantial time, because the sum of work he had done with Bob was noticeable. He obtained away with 4:04 in the Dune Arena, and everybody believed he just about broke Phelps’ room earth file, and he even won a gold medal in the two hundred.
– What did Marchand notify him that they will be immediate education partners from January?
– We are in call, we began to know each and every other immediately after the Environment Cup. He reported he couldn’t wait around for me to go out and contend with just about every other. It was wonderful to listen to that, for the reason that some folks do not like it when someone beats them even in teaching, but I do not see it in Léon so I’m on the lookout forward to operating jointly.
In a remark, Léon Marchand was 1 of the first to congratulate Hubert Kós on his Instagram announcement:
“It sounds great that Bob Bowman will be his mentor, but in Arizona.” there are various typical swimmers in the workforce, in addition to Marchand, we can also point out the Olympic winner of the 400 medley, Chase Kalisz. Will Bowman seriously be the one particular standing next to you at the edge of the pool telling you what to do and how to do it?
“Yup.” We are now in regular get hold of, we talked a ton in the course of the European Championships, he followed my swims.
– From his place of check out, did you chat about the old great opponent, László Cseh? Who, by the way, is your product …
– Not however, but I will certainly inquire Bob what it was like getting ready against Laci with Phelps for so numerous a long time. We’ve listened to many situations what it was like to put together in opposition to Phelps, but I’m also fascinated in the other facet, and what they believe of Laci.
