The 2026 European Championships have officially kicked off, and Day 1 absolutely delivered. Scott and Dan of the Propulsion Swimming Podcast break down an action-packed opening night that saw Team GB take home double gold in the 4x200m Freestyle Relays!
But the biggest talking point of the night? Leon Marchand. Despite nursing an injury, the French superstar dropped a mind-boggling 1:43.76 split on the 4x200m Free Relay, sending shockwaves through the swimming world.
We also break down Max Litchfield's gritty Bronze in the 400m IM, Egor Kornev dropping a massive 22.36 in the 50m Fly semi-finals, and Katie Shanahan looking like the absolute favorite in the 200m Backstroke. Plus, we analyze Adam Ramsey-Peaty and Philip Nowacki's form as they navigate an incredibly deep 100m Breaststroke field.
