Team GB's Max Litchfield qualifies second fastest for Sunday night's 400m individual medley Olympic final in Paris, behind the home favourite Leon Marchand.
Team GB's Max Litchfield qualified second fastest for Sunday night's 400m individual medley Olympic final in Paris.
The first appearance of 22-year-old Marchand at these Olympics created a raucous atmosphere at La Defense Arena. Litchfield missed the Commonwealth Games and World Championships in 2022 because of a still undisclosed "personal issue", but broke the British record at the Olympic trials in April."I would think he is going into that final tonight as clear favourite and I can't see anybody touching him."
Richards, the 2023 world champion in the event, was sixth fastest overall, while Tokyo silver medallist Scott was 11th.
