French favourite Leon Marchand took his fourth gold medal of the Paris Olympics when he won the men's 200 metres Individual Medley in an Olympic record time on Friday.
Britain's Duncan Scott won the silver and China's Wang Shun the bronze at a deafening La Defense Arena.

Marchand is the first French athlete to take four individual golds, as opposed to team ones, at a single Summer Games and only the third male swimmer to do so after Americans Michael Phelps and Mark Spitz.
The 22-year-old won the 400 Individual Medley last Sunday and then both the 200 butterfly and 200 breaststroke on Wednesday.
