Phelps a real champion and sportsman showing respect for the young man and the sport well done sir he knows this only elevates the sport as it should.

You sure? He's as sour as a grape when Pan broke the record!

[@laumut1622]

Because phelps is not a fan of himself like others. He is the fan of the sport.

[@yosileotuscomments]

Great comment, my respect to you. It's an amazing comment 👏

[@evelinepwee37]

Well Leon chose to be trained by Phelps mentor because of Phelps. Leon is Phelps fan himself.

[@drewrockwell8000]

Lol Leon is a fan of Phelps

[@BellaR.]

Wow he’s a decent human being, where can we get more 😊

[@alfonsocardonagranados7576]

Amazing comment! We all can feel is true ❤

[@umadbra]

What a legend... The way he's cheering someone breaking his record. He really loves the sport.

@@djo-dji6018 no, I think he’s being genuine. It’s not like he can do anything about it now he’s not gonna swim again

[@Pegasus_p12]

MP knows how tough and suffering it is to break WR....he is giving the due respect and I am giving him my respect too.

[@ccbgaming6994]

Exactly

20 years is still impressive🎉🎉🎉

[@keepcalm1224]

Marchand is an absolute stud in the water. Phelps is passing the torch to a worthy successor. 🇺🇸🇫🇷

[@MimMdance]

"The GOAT is impressed" that's right. Never forget Michael Phelps guys. I woke up at 4 am to see him swim that race agaist Cavic in Beijing 2008.

[@jo-eo9ld]

I was a teenager working at a sleep-away summer camp. Me and all my co-counselors stayed up late into the night, huddled together around the one television in the entire camp to watch him swim.

[@nenisguevaragomez8122]

A real gentleman and sportsman!!! Bravo to both of them!!

[@thundaa9597]

He sounds like a little kid watching this swim wide-eyed, it's so wholesome 😊

[@allenandres2535]

I love how happy Michael Phelps is for this young man to have beaten his record after it stood for so long, it really shows what a class act and what type of world champion he is.

[@bhornannawindeedeigh5007]

Love Michael Phelps... he's a humble athlete with an astounding record, not afraid to pass the torch to the next GOAT. Awesome! ❤

[@FX001]

MP is a legend...in sport and in life ❤

[@magic_claw]

Woah! I thought it would never be broken considering the uniqueness of Phelps. Humans continue to scale new heights. Just incredible.

That's the way you recognize a great champion. Phelps and Marchand are very similar through their mentality and way of swimming.

[@christinedu5211]

Et Léon Marchand a dû se dire "P... ! Phelps !! En plus !! Il doit savoir comment j'ai trimé pour battre son record !! P... !! Je lui demande un autographe ou pas ?!"❤ Le mec, il avait 6 ans à l'époque...😅

[@OedipusSimplex]

Marchand is already doing things Phelps couldn't do.

[@alexandergeorge827]

Cool moment but I feel like they tried to make it too much about phelps. “The goat is impressed/passing the torch” or “Michael phelps is in the building” like, just mention he’s there, let him announce, even the medal, but you need to keep the focus on Marchand. (Sorry for the rant)

[@Poutine-stratège-maladroit]

Americans you know.. it's always about them.

[@RSFHa]

If mike was still swimming, they would just go back and forth with WR lmao shits crazy

[@AS-pl1wu]

Passed the torch? No, he took it.

[@nathanator6450]

The reason they say passed the torch was because Phelps was there to commentate and congratulate him

[@AS-pl1wu]

@@nathanator6450 i understand that, Nathan. It's a figure of speech. And it's a misnomer. Whether he's there or not, whether he's alive or not, nothing was passed, figuratively nor in actuality. He earned it. He took it. And everyone is happy because that's sports. Phelps presence there is irrelevant. People wound still make that comment if he weren't there, in error.

[@RunForPeace-hk1cu]

Lol … let me know when Marchand gets 8 golds in one Olympics. Records are meant to be broken.

[@AS-pl1wu]

@@RunForPeace-hk1cu agreed. They are meant to be broken. I don't think you understand my post. No. I won't let you know IF / when he gets 8 golds in one Olympics. You can find out on your own. I doubt he ever will. Next. Forgot the lol... Lol

[@decaprfeb]

let’s wait next year Paris Olympic if he gets 8 or 9 golds okay 🇺🇸

if phelps concentrated in just 2 relays rather than 8, he can have the energy to have a record unbreakable.. lol
