Canadian Teenager Shatters World Record Again at Canadian Swimming Trials
Sixteen-year-old Summer McIntosh, a rising star in the swimming world, has set yet another world record in the 400m individual medley event. This latest achievement comes just days after she broke the world record for the 400m freestyle.
McIntosh's blistering time of 4:25.87 not only shattered the previous mark set by Hungarian swimmer Katinka Hosszรบ at the 2016 Rio Olympics, but also continued her impressive form. Her latest triumph follows a remarkable week that saw her shatter Ariarne Titmus' previous record for the 400m freestyle, setting a new world record in the process.
According to McIntosh, the experience of hearing the crowd cheer her on during her race was something she'll never forget. "That's the first time I really vividly heard the crowd during my race," she said in an interview with Reuters. "It's amazing to have all my family and friends in the stands, cheering me on. It really helped me in the last 100 meters."
The Canadian teenager made her Olympic debut at Tokyo 2020, where she finished fourth in the 200-meter freestyle. Since then, she has gone on to win numerous accolades, including gold medals at the world championships and Commonwealth Games.
McIntosh now trains in Florida under coach Brent Arckey with the Sarasota Sharks team. With her continued success and dedication to her craft, it's clear that she is one of the most exciting young swimmers to watch in the sport.
