PARIS — Léon Marchand isn't ready to rest just yet. The 22-year-old French swimmer who won five medals — four of them gold — is eager to soak in the Olympic atmosphere and make the most of his time in Paris. He says, "I'll try to watch some sports." He's particularly excited about catching some basketball and volleyball, as well as the track and field 200 meters finals.
