He chased down world-record holder and defending Olympic champion Krist\u00f3f Mil\u00e1k to win the 200-meter butterfly in 1 minute 51.21 seconds and then claimed the 200 breaststroke about two hours later in 2:05.85.<\/p>\n<p>Marchand was back for the preliminary heats of the 200 individual medley Thursday. He swam easily and recorded the third fastest time to advance.<\/p>\n<p>Daiya Seto of Japan clocked 1:57.48 with Marchand third in 1:57.86.<\/p>\n<p>Marchand now has three gold medals in individual events in Paris and will go for his fourth on Friday night in the final 200 individual medley.<\/p>\n<p>That may complete his haul in Paris in front of adoring, chanting, flag-waving fans at the La Defense Arena. It\u2019s unclear if he will swim any relays for France, which is not considered a medal contender in those events.<\/p>\n<p>Getting the fourth gold might be the easy part.
