The TYR Pro Swim Series 2024 is making swimming enthusiasts uncover new possible avenues. After witnessing an incredible performance at the 400m IM on day 3 of the TYR 2024 series, the spectators could only think about Leon Marchand as Carson Foster depicted the same energy as the French swimmer when Marchand surpassed Michael Phelps’s record and cruised to the finish line in the Individual Medley.

Foster clinched gold by clocking a time of 4:13.04, while Bobby Finke finished in the second position and Jay Litherland in third.

Carson Foster took the reins in the 400m IM

The Knoxville stadium was staring in awe at the performances of day 3 of the TYR Pro Swim Series 2024. However, one that turned the most heads was the men’s 400m IM. The spectators were cheering for the American swimmer Carson Foster, who took the lead and touched the yellow line in a brilliant 4:13.04. Trying to cope with Foster’s speed was the 2023 Golden Goggle’s male of the year Bobby Finke finished in the second position. He clocked a time of 4:18.61. Giving Finke tough competition was another American swimmer, Jay Litherland with a time of 4:18.70.
