Fukuoka (Japan), July 23 (Ians) Three world records, including the oldest one, fell and four out of five gold medals went to Australia in the first day’s swimming competition at the World Aquatics Championships here on Sunday.
Frenchman Leon Marchand broke Michael Phelps’ 15-year-world record in men’s 400 metres individual medley when he retained his world title in four minutes 2.50 seconds, trimming 1.34 seconds off the previous mark of 4:03.84, reports Xinhua.
Phelps’ time, the oldest long-course swimming record, was set at the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games when he collected a total of eight gold medals.
“That was insane,” the 21-year-old Marchand said after the race. “That was one of the most painful things I did. The best is yet to come. The time is crazy.”
American Carson Foster finished second in 4:06.56 and Japan’s Daiya Seto took bronze in 4:09.41.
Australia became the biggest winner on the night by winning all the other four finals.

Luana Alonso shows off her “Olympic Rings” as she sizzles in a black bikini for a stunning beach snap.
The Paraguayan swimmer revealed a tattoo of the legendary games logo on her right thigh during a sun-soaked trip to Abu Dhabi.
Her tanned figure looked perfect in a skimpy Calvin Klein two-piece as she relaxed on the white sands.
And it’s clear from her slim, toned physique that the 18-year-old from Asuncion has been training hard as she studies at Virginia Tech.
The fun inking may signify Luana’s ambitions for the 2024 Olympics in Paris after she competed in the 100m butterfly at least year’s Tokyo games.
Luana failed to make the final as Canadian Margaret MacNeil took home gold in front of China’s Yufei Zhang and Emma McKeon of Australia.
